On 9 February 2024, an Airbus A300-600F bounced four times during an attempted landing at Leipzig with a significant tail strike occurring during the second bounce which resulted in substantial structural damage to the aircraft. A go-around and a second approach to a successful landing on an alternate runway followed thus avoiding the damaged runway surface and debris from fuselage-runway contact. Having experienced several similar events in the same month, the aircraft operator subsequently significantly increased its pilot training focus on Hard Landing Avoidance, Bounce Recovery, Go-around Technique and Tail Strike Avoidance in respect of all three aircraft types operated.
