A DHL Air Austria Boeing 757-200 freighter, registration OE-LNE performing flight BCS-5NR from Ancona to Milan Malpensa (Italy) with 2 crew, was climbing out of Ancona's runway 04 when the right hand engine (RB211) emitted a series of 4 bangs and streaks of flame. The crew stopped the climb at 4000 feet and shut the engine down. The aircraft returned to Ancona for a safe landing on runway 22 about 30 minutes after departure.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Ancona about 24 hours after landing back.
