A LATAM Brasil Airbus A320-200, registration PR-MHG performing flight JJ-3392 from Sao Paulo Congonhas,SP to Brasilia,DF (Brazil), departed Congonhas' runway 17R but suffered an engine failure leaving debris on the runway. The crew continued takeoff, climbed to about 7000 feet and diverted to Sao Paulo's Guarulhos Airport for a safe landing on runway 09R about 20 minutes after departure.

The runway at Congonhas Airport remained closed for about 150 minutes.

The airline reported the aircraft collided with a bird and diverted to Guarulhos.

A replacement A320-200 registration PR-MYT reached Brasilia with a delay of 2.5 hours.

A source told The Aviation Herald that no bird strike had occurred, there was no visible damage to fan blades (front of engine) or turbine section (aft outlet section of engine). However, a bleed air tube at the 14th stage compressor had fractured causing damage to the engine and prompting the engine electronic control to automatically shut the engine down.
