A TUI Airways Boeing 737-800 bound for Manchester, UK from Turkey's Dalaman Airport on June 10 faced a delay of 4 hours. During takeoff, suspected engine failure forced an emergency brake when the plane was already lifting off, causing passengers to panic, with some vomiting and hitting their heads on seats. The pilot had assured passengers of 'no bad news' moments before the incident. Passengers endured confusion and a 3-day delay in Turkey, with some opting for alternative flights. TUI Airways acknowledged technical problems, promising compensation but not confirming engine fire or runway deviation. Boeing has not yet responded.
