Regarding Flightradar24:
At 16:38 UTC, Flight JU324 was parked at one of the intersecting taxiways more than halfway down Belgrade’s Nikola Tesla Airport runway 30L ( see image below ). Soon after, the aircraft started its departure roll and became flying at 16:39 UTC. The aircraft’s kept side suffered significant damage during takeoff when it collided with the instrument landing system array on the opposing runway. There is evidence of a longer gash running down the side of the aircraft as well as damage to the wing root, which is where the plane’s body meets.
Soon after takeoff, JU324 entered holding holding close to Belgrade and remained in the air for only under 60 minutes. At 17:36 UTC, the flight touched down on runway 30L ( the same runway from which it had departed ).
Runway 12R/30L, the airport’s following and newest runway, only opened in July 2023, and as a result of the accident, its instrument landing category has been downgraded from Category III to Category I.”}]] [[{“value”:”
