The Boeing 787 of Vietnam Airlines overshot the runway during takeoff, touching down with its tail. However, the pilots managed to lift the aircraft off the ground, and the plane flew over the city for an hour and a half to burn off fuel before landing. Representatives of Vietnam Airlines stated that the flight to Hanoi was turned back due to a "technical issue," without providing further details.


Witnesses captured the tense moments, and the images show how the plane overshot the runway, leaving a cloud of dust in its wake. After landing, the Boeing 787 remained immobilized on the runway, leading to its temporary closure and the rerouting of air traffic. Vietnam Airlines is working with authorities to inspect the aircraft and will provide additional information after determining the causes of the incident.
