A TAP Air Portugal Airbus A320-200, registration CS-TNX performing flight TP-831 from Rome Fiumicino (Italy) to Lisbon (Portugal), was departing Fiumicino's runway 25 when the tail contacted the runway surface. The aircraft stopped the climb at 4000 feet, entered a hold to burn off fuel and returned to Rome for a safe landing on Fiumicino's runway 16L about one hour after departure.

Italy's ANSV dispatched an investigator on site stating there had been no injuries. The damage is currently being assessed.
