A TAP Air Portugal Airbus A321-200N, registration CS-TJM performing flight TP-2878 from Lisbon (Portugal) to London Heathrow,EN (UK), was enroute at FL360 about 80nm eastsoutheast of Porto (Portugal) when the crew heard some unusual noise and decided to divert to Porto. In the meantime a ground staff in Lisbon reported his headset was missing. The aircraft landed safely on Porto's runway 35 about 50 minutes after departure.

Portugal's GPIAAF reported: "A maintenance inspection was carried out following landing. Remnants of the headset, including loose cabling, were found entangled around the right main landing gear (MLG) main door. No damage was identified to the aircraft’s structure or systems, and the aircraft was subsequently released to continue its flight to London Heathrow Airport (EGLL)."

The aircraft remained on the ground for about one hour, then continued the journey and reached London with a delay of about 80 minutes.
