A British Airways Airbus A321-200, registration G-EUXK performing positioning flight BA-9272 from Basel/Mulhouse (Switzerland/France) to London Heathrow,EN (UK), was rotating for takeoff from Basel's runway 15 when the right hand engine (V2533) began to emit a series of bangs as result of compressor stalls prompting the crew to stop the climb at 5500 feet, shut the engine down and return to Basel for a safe landing on runway 15 about 13 minutes after departure.

The aircraft had been scheduled to perform flight BA-751 earlier but had needed to return to the gate while taxiing out for departure due to a technical problem.
