A Transaero Airlines Boeing 767-200, registration EI-DBW performing flight UN-932 from Barcelona,SP (Spain) to Ekaterinburg (Russia), was climbing out of Barcelona's runway 25L when the left hand engine (CF6) repeatedly surged prompting the crew to shut the engine down and return to Barcelona for a safe landing on runway 25R about 70 minutes after departure.

The flight was cancelled.

Passengers reported the aircraft was just rotating for takeoff when the left hand engine emitted a loud bang and streaks of flames became visible from the tail pipe of the engine, the aircraft was shaking. About 30 seconds later the crew shut the engine down. The captain announced they would return to Barcelona but needed to enter a hold over the sea to dump fuel. They were taken to hotels over night and travelled to Ekaterinburg the following day on flights UN-340 to Moscow and UN-109 to Ekaterinburg reaching their destination with a delay of 21.5 hours.
