BA plane tail appears to strike runway during Heathrow landing


A British Airways plane appeared to strike its tail on the runway twice while attempting to land at Heathrow Airport on Thursday.

Flight BA431, travelling from Amsterdam, was approaching the runway when the pilots aborted the landing and carried out a go-around.

The plane landed safely on its second attempt.

A British Airways spokesperson said: “The aircraft landed safely and we’re assisting the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) with its investigation and are legally unable to comment further at this stage.”
