Lufthansa 747 narrowly avoids tail strike during go-around at LAX

On October 10, 2026, a Lufthansa Boeing 747-8 (flight LH456) executed a dramatic go-around at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) after its tail came dangerously close to the runway during a landing attempt. The aircraft, registered D-ABYK, touched down on Runway 24R with insufficient remaining distance, prompting pilots to abort the landing and climb away. The plane landed safely on its second attempt 15 minutes later. No injuries or damage were reported, and the aircraft returned to service for its Frankfurt return flight.

Jet-fuel Squeeze Trims LAX Summer Routes for Several Airlines

Jet-fuel Squeeze Trims LAX Summer Routes for Several Airlines

American Airlines is halting nonstop LAX service to Cleveland, Columbus, Pittsburgh, and Washington Dulles through August/September due to higher jet-fuel costs tied to the Iran conflict. Norse Atlantic canceled its LAX summer European routes, and Allegiant already shifted ops from LAX to Burbank for lower costs. With jet fuel up more than 40% since the Middle East tensions began and West Coast supply vulnerabilities, fares could rise and more route changes may follow, though American says the suspensions are temporary and service will continue via connections.
