Air Berlin flight 3156 diverted to München, Germany after sustaining a tire failure on takeoff from Düsseldorf.
The Airbus A321 took off from runway 23L at Düsseldorf at 12:12 hours (10:12 UTC). During takeoff one of the main landing gear's tires failed. Debris punctured the right hand wing.
The aircraft leveled off at FL270 at which point the crew likely became aware of the damage. A descent was initiated at 12:41 and the flight diverted to München, where it landed safely on runway 26R at 13:21 hours.

The aircraft was repaired and was back in service on October 1, 2015.
