		</div><p>An Air Canada plane with 128 passengers on board has made a safe emergency landing at Madrid airport following problems with one of its two engines and a ruptured tyre during take-off.</p>
<p>The Boeing 767 had been flying in circles over the Spanish capital Madrid, trying to burn off fuel before landing.</p>
<p>The aircraft had departed from Adolfo Suarez-Barajas international airport earlier in the day and was scheduled to land in Toronto at 3.40pm local time.</p>
<p>In a statement, the airline said the plane “experienced an engine issue shortly after take-off” as well as a ruptured tyre – one of 10 on the Boeing 767-300.</p>
<p>It added that the aircraft “is designed to operate on one engine and our pilots are fully trained for this eventuality”.</p>
<p><em>“Nonetheless, an emergency was declared in order to obtain landing priority,”</em> Air Canada said.</p>
<p>A spokeswoman with Spain’s airport operator AENA said the airline had requested a slot for an emergency landing some 30 minutes after take-off.</p>
<p>Spain’s El Mundo newspaper’s website published audio it said featured the plane’s pilot explaining to the passengers the need to return to Madrid because a wheel had been damaged during take-off.</p>
<p><em>“Because we are a bit too heavy, we have to get rid of fuel before being able to land,”</em> the voice can be heard saying in Spanish.</p>
