* On 12 October 2018, Air India Express Flight 611 was a [[Boeing 737-800]] (registered VT-AYD) that suffered a tail strike on take off, before colliding with the localizer antenna and boundary wall of [[Tiruchirappalli International Airport]]. This resulted in severe structural damage to the undercarriage, landing gear, flight control surfaces and engine cowling. The crew continued to fly towards their destination in Dubai contrary to Boeing's tail strike checklist, reassured by normal instrumentation. The company operations team requested the plane return to Mumbai whilst the plane was over the Arabian Sea. It landed uneventful and was repaired at a substantial cost. <ref>{{Cite web|last=Ranter|first=Harro|title=ASN Aircraft accident Boeing 737-8HG (WL) VT-AYD Tiruchirappalli-Civil Airport (TRZ)|url=https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20181012-0|access-date=2021-09-25|website=aviation-safety.net}}</ref> | |||
