A BH Balkan Holidays Air Airbus A320-200 on behalf of Air Vallee, registration LZ-BHC performing flight DO-5379 from Verona to Rome Fiumicino (Italy), struck its tail onto the runway in Verona while becoming airborne. The crew decided to return to Verona.
The Italian National Agency for Aviation Safety (ANSV) launched an investigation stating, that the damage to the airplane prompted the agency to rate the occurrence an accident. According to ANSV the airplane was doing Verona-Rome-Hurghada.
According to the airport of Rome Fiumicino the airplane was due to arrive from Hurghada via an intermediate stop in Verona.
Sources at Verona Airport said, that the luggage of those passengers getting off at the stopover in Verona (arriving from Hurghada) had all been stored in the forward luggage hold, while luggage of passengers carrying on to Rome was in the rear luggage hold. The forward hold was therefore emptied during the stopover.
