MONTREAL (Reuters) - An Air Canada Boeing 767 that landed safely in Madrid on Monday, after circling for hours to burn fuel, had rubber from one of its landing gear tires detach during takeoff, Canada's Transportation Safety Board (TSB) said.

"During takeoff, rubber from the number 5 main landing gear tyre detached," said the TSB in its daily notification log published on Wednesday. "Some debris was found on the runway and others were ingested by the left engine."
