The aircraft slowed safely and vacated the runway on a high speed turn off about 1650 meters down the runway.

A passenger reported that sparks were seen from the right hand engine, at almost the same time the brakes came on. After the aircraft stopped to have the engine inspected the crew announced, that there was currently no abnormal indication in the cockpit, in coordination with technical staff in Hamburg they would return to the gate for safety reasons.
