China Eastern Airlines flight MU736 returned to land at Sydney-Kingsford Smith International Airport in Australia after one of the three structural acoustic panels of the aircraft’s left engine inlet cowling, and the inboard outer skin separated from the aircraft during takeoff.
The aircraft, an Airbus A330-200, took off from runway 34L at 20:42 hours local time. ADS-B data from the flight show that the climb was arrested at 1500 feet with the aircraft.
The flight radioed that they experienced a "number one engine fault" and initially requested to maintain the present heading. After about one minute the aircraft continued it's climb to 5700 ft, while circling back to the airport.
A safe landing was made back at Sydney Airport runway 34L at 21:24 hours.
