This morning around 09:00 (UTC +2), a Bombardier Global 5000 of the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) (registered as 14+01) departed Berlin Schönefeld Airport (SXF) but was forced to return after a technical issue on the flight controls, allegedly after faulty maintenance.
During landing, both wings scraped the runway, resulting in a near crash. After landing, the aircraft ended up slightly next to the runway, blocking the runway. Departures have been halted. At the moment of writing, eight aircraft diverted to nearby Tegel Airport, seriously disrupting the airlines’ flight schedules.
The German Air Force announced that no passengers were on board the aircraft: “The crew is being medically examined. The aircraft headed back to Berlin Schönefeld after a technical malfunction just after take-off. We are investigating the cause of the incident,” the German Air Force tweeted.
