The airline reported a tyre thread separated from a tyre during takeoff from Rome causing damage to the underside of the right wing. The damage was only discovered during walk around in Perth, cracks were found across two panels and a flap.
The ATSB did not open an investigation reasoning that a technical failure was appropriately handled by the crew.
