EL AL flight LY27 took off from runway 26 at Ben-Gurion International Airport on a flight to New York.
During the initial climb, the crew detected a loud noise and vibration, but could not locate the source. Immediately after take-off, the XSIGHT FOD detection system at Ben-Gurion International Airport identified and alerted foreign objects on the runway and a crew was sent to the site. They found several large tire parts, originating from flight LY27. After an hour and a quarter of the flight, when the plane was already over Turkey, a decision was made to return to land at Ben-Gurion airport, due to the fear of structural damage to the plane.
The damage to the tire was consistent with a flange nut, but this could not be established with certainty because the object responsible for the damage was not located.
