A National Cargo Boeing 747-400 freighter, registration N919CA performing flight N8-891 from Munich (Germany) to Chicago Rockford,IL (USA), departed Munich's runway 26R at 11:27L (09:27Z) and climbed to cruise FL300 when a runway inspection of runway 26R found the second half of the runway strewn with rubber debris and blue paint fragments. While the runway was closed and several sweepers cleaned the runway, the debris was identified to most likely belong to the National Cargo Boeing 747, the crew was informed via ATC. The crew decided to continue their flight and are currently into the Atlantic crossing. The crew maintained routine communication with Chicago Center and continued for a safe landing on Rockford's runway 07 about 8:50 hours after departure and taxied to the apron.

A ground observer reported several sweepers were operating between taxiways A5 and A9 (between 1700 meters/5600 feet and 2500 meters/8100 feet down the runway) after LH-2286 had lined up runway 26R and reported the debris ahead about 7 minutes after N8-891 had departed. LH-2286 taxied to the southern runway 26L and departed from there.
