Berlin airport authorities say Bono’s private plane lost a hatch as it was coming in for a landing in the German capital but the U2 singer was never in any danger.
Airport spokesman Ralf Kunkel told DPA news agency that the 80cm by 100cm rear hatch landed in the vicinity of Schönefeld airport, on Berlin’s southeastern edge.
Kunkel, who did not immediately return calls seeking comment, said it was unclear how the hatch came off and that German authorities were investigating.
He said the aircraft, which was flying from Dublin, was never in danger of crashing and landed safely on Wednesday.
Bono was in Berlin for the Bambi international music awards on Thursday.
