An observer on the ground reported it looked like the engine ingested a bird when it emitted streaks of flame and a loud bang.
The airline confirmed a failure of the right hand engine. The flight was cancelled, the passengers were rebooked onto other flights.
On Feb 17th 2015 the French BEA reported the crew received a right hand engine EGT overtemperature indication upon rotation from Bogota's runway 13R with the EGT rising up to 1020 degrees C. Observers on the ground saw the aircraft become airborne with fire from the engine. The crew shut the engine down, declared emergency, burned off fuel and returned to Bogota for a landing on runway 13R without further incident and "without major problems". Colombia's Accident Investigation Board rated the occurrence a serious incident and opened an investigation.
