A THY Turkish Airlines Airbus A321-200N, registration TC-LTG performing flight TK-1973 from Istanbul (Turkey) to Dublin (Ireland), was landing on Dublin's runway 28L when the crew initiated a balked landing and went around, however, the tail contacted the runway surface. The aircraft climbed out to safety, positioned for another approach and landed on runway 28L without further incident about 15 minutes later.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Dublin about 44 hours later.
On Jul 18th 2025 Ireland's AAIU reported the occurrence was rated a serious incident (with unknown aircraft damage) stating: "Rear fuselage struck the runway during an aborted landing." The occurrence is being investigated.
