Boeing aircraft, operated by TUI, departed for Las Palmas, Gran Canaria with 163 passengers on board when it struggled to take off
Tldr: auto throttle disconnected due to software glitch in selected takeoff mode. 87% N1 rather than 92% (off memory), no pilot noticed during taking off roll.
Good thing they have clear runways at either end.
