A Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787-9 passenger jet suffered a tail strike after it appeared to overrun the end of the runway at Munich Airport in Germany before getting airborne on August 15. The aircraft took off at 13:57 local time from runway 26L and landed on runway 26R a short time later.

The safety occurrence is currently under investigation by Germany's Federal Office for Air Accident Investigation (BFU). German air accident investigators confirmed that tire tracks had been discovered at the end of the runway, which may have been left by the aircraft during its departure.
