Episodio inquietante, visto che i danni alla coda rilevati una volta che l'aereo è giunto a Monaco sono stati giudicati "substantial".

A Lufthansa Airbus A330-300, registration D-AIKJ performing flight LH-435 from Chicago O'Hare,IL (USA) to Munich (Germany), departed Chicago's runway 32R at 21:54L (03:54Z Mar 6th) but struck its tail onto the runway during rotation for takeoff. The tailstrike went unnoticed, the crew maintained routine communication throughout the flight, the flight was continued to Munich at cruise levels up to FL370 and landed safely on Munich's runway 08L about 8.5 hours later.
The aircraft was removed from service after landing and is currently still on the ground, the aircraft is said to have received substantial damage.
Germany's BFU confirmed they have been informed about the occurrence, an investigation has been opened, further details are not yet to be disclosed however.
