A Singapore Airlines Airbus A350-941, traveling from Manila (MAN/RPLL) to Singapore (SIN/WSSS), as SQ917 has been grounded at Singapore Changi Airport after suffering a tail strike during a go-around maneuver on Saturday.
Images circulating on social media show visible damage to the aircraft's tail section, confirming the severity of the incident. The tail strike reportedly occurred as the aircraft aborted its first landing and initiated a go-around, a maneuver typically performed due to unstable approach conditions or runway-related factors.
Singapore Airlines has not yet released detailed information regarding the cause of the incident.
The aircraft remains out of service as inspections and repairs are carried out in accordance with Airbus and regulatory procedures.
Tail strikes are taken seriously in aviation, as they can involve structural damage requiring extensive checks before an aircraft is cleared to return to service.
