Incident: SAS MD82 at Gdansk on Apr 15th 2009

A SAS Scandinavian Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-82, registration OY-KHE performing flight SK-1758 from Gdansk (Poland) to Copenhagen (Denmark), struck its tail onto the runway at Gdansk during takeoff. The crew did not notice the tail strike and continued to Copenhagen, where the airplane landed safely. The airplane subsequently continued normally on its schedule departing on its next scheduled flight just one hour after landing in Copenhagen. The incident became known only on Apr 25th due to a published photograph by Marcin Pietraszko showing the tail contacting the runway surface. Scandinavian Airlines have promised a statement on Apr 25th and Apr 27th, but have so far not delivered that statement. Komentarz moderatora: bez linków
