A Singapore Airlines Airbus A350-900, registration 9V-SHW performing flight SQ-917 from Manila (Philippines) to Singapore (Singapore), was on approach to Singapore's runway 02L when the crew initiated a go around from very low height, however, the tail contacted the runway surface. The aircraft climbed to 4000 feet, positioned for another approach to runway 02C and landed there without further incident about 25 minutes later.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Singapore about 53 hours after landing.
