April 17 Aeromexico tail-strike  on takeoff from MAD

An Aeromexico 767 jet suffered heavy damage to its tail while taking off from Madrid-Barajas .

Reports say there were gusty winds when the incident occurred.

Pilots on Aeromexico Flight 002 climbed to a safe altitude to jettison fuel and made a safe return to land at 16:25.

Two cabin attendants suffered minor injuries.

Inspection after landing showed heavy damage to the tail keel.

The incident is under investigation.

I live near MMMX and spotting the XA-TOJ was always nice. I have friends who work in Aeromexico Manteinance hangars and they say this particular B762 was one of the most beloved frames, it had been in the company more than 13 or 14 years I think.
From MEX, it commonly flew to NRT, CDG, SCL, JFK (Seasonal), MAD, & BCN (Seasonal).

As far as I know the aircraft was not repaired and rests stored in Barajas. It looks like it's pretty much its end.
