A LATAM Boeing 767-300, registration PT-MSY performing flight JJ-8115 (dep Jan 14th) from Barcelona,SP (Spain) to Sao Paulo Guarulhos,SP (Brazil), departed Barcelona's runway 07R and completed what appeared to be an uneventful flight with a safe landing on Guarulhos' runway 09R and taxied to the apron.



The airline reported that the aircraft subsequently positioned to Sao Carlos,SP (Brazil) for scheduled maintenance (flight JJ-9560). Maintenance there discovered a hole in the #3 leading edge flap of the left hand wing with a 7.62mm caliber projectile embedded, the hole became only visible because of the maintenance works. It was not possible to determine at which stage of the last commercial flight from Barcelona to Sao Paulo the bullet struck the aircraft, neither crew nor passengers did notice anything abnormal. The bullet did not compromise the safety of the flight.
