Cathay Pacific Airways confirmed that the tail of a passenger aircraft struck the runway at Hong Kong International Airport during a go-around manoeuvre last Friday, according to the South China Morning Post.

The airline said an Airbus A330-300 operating flight CX509 from Tokyo’s Narita airport made contact with the runway while pilots aborted the landing approach and climbed to attempt another approach.

Cathay said the aircraft subsequently landed safely and was taxied to a parking bay, where passengers disembarked normally.

The Hong Kong aviation regulator ordered Cathay to submit a report following the incident, the SCMP Economy story adds.
