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.
The aircraft remained on the ground in Brussels for about 16 hours, then departed again and reached Oran with a delay of about 19 hours.
