Boeing 787 catches fire mid-air, makes emergency landing in Rome

A Hainan Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, carrying 249 passengers and 16 crew, made an emergency landing in Rome after its right engine caught fire, likely due to a bird strike. The incident occurred shortly after takeoff. The crew dumped fuel to reduce weight before safely returning to Fiumicino Airport. No injuries were reported, and other flights were not affected. This incident follows recent engine fires involving Boeing aircraft, including a Boeing 737-500 in Indonesia and an Air Canada plane in June.
