A TUI Airlines Belgium Boeing 737-8 MAX, registration OO-MAX performing flight TB-3465 from Brussels (Belgium) to Oran (Algeria), departed Brussels' runway 25R and climbed to FL370. Near Limoges (France) the crew was informed that debris had been found at the taxiway and runway in Brussels believed to have originated from their aircraft. The crew turned around and returned to Brussels preparing the cabin for an emergency landing. The aircraft landed safely on runway 25R about 90 minutes after departure.

The airline reported the aircraft returned to Brussels for safety reasons after debris had been found on taxiway and departure runway, that as the airport authority believed came from their aircraft. The French Air Force on a training mission nearby inspected landing gear but could not visually determine any anomaly. After landing back in Brussels it became apparent there was nothing wrong with the aircraft. However, the flight could not continue due to crew duty time limits and was postponed to the next day.
