An Airbus A320 operated by Air Serbia was damaged on Friday, October 2, 2026, at Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle Airport after a ground collision with an easyJet aircraft. No injuries were reported, but the Serbian plane was temporarily taken out of service for a detailed technical inspection while the circumstances of the incident are being investigated. The Air Serbia aircraft, an Airbus A320-232 with registration YU-APS, had just arrived from Belgrade and was stationary on the tarmac, waiting for instructions from air traffic control. It was struck at the end of its right wing by the sharklet — a vertical fin attached to the wing — of the easyJet aircraft, which was moving on the tarmac. Air Serbia confirmed that all passengers and crew members were unharmed and safe following the incident. The damage was localized to the end of the right wing of the Air Serbia A320. According to the airline, the collision occurred as the easyJet plane was maneuvering on the movement area. Passengers remained on board for nearly two hours while the situation was assessed. Airport emergency services and police were also present at the scene. The damaged A320 was then removed from service for a "detailed technical examination." Air Serbia said it was working with airport authorities and other relevant parties to determine the exact sequence of events. At this stage, no official conclusions about responsibility or the factors leading to the collision have been released. Flight tracking data show that the YU-APS was able to depart Paris-CDG for Belgrade on October 3 after undergoing technical checks. Ground collisions between aircraft, while rare, are not unheard of and can lead to significant operational changes. These incidents are typically low-energy compared to mid-air collisions or runway excursions, but they still require thorough investigation. The immobilization of an aircraft, even with minor damage, can result in inspections, maintenance adjustments, delays, or even changes in aircraft assignments. Safety procedures are also reviewed to prevent similar incidents. This particular incident is part of a small but growing trend of ground collisions involving commercial aircraft. Earlier this year, a similar event at New York’s LaGuardia Airport resulted in a fatal collision between an aircraft and a fire truck, highlighting the potential dangers of such occurrences. While the current incident caused no injuries, it underscores the ongoing need for vigilance and safety measures on airport movement areas.
