Wish them the best. It must be very stressful for the pilots and passengers onboard.

AC 767s can not dump fuel, so the longer they circle, the more fuel they burn, the less weight they have, the safer to land.

Do we know the extend of the problem? From the English sites I visited, some say it’s a blown tire and some say it’s “part of the landing gear”.
