An American Airlines Boeing 767-300, registration N366AA
performing fl ight AA-67 from Barcelona,SP (Spain) to New
York JFK,NY (USA), had taxied to the holding point runway
25L and was holding short of the runway on holding line G3
(most western holding line).
A Ryanair Boeing 737-800, registration EI-EKB performing
fl ight FR-8136 from Barcelona,SP (Spain) to Ibiza,SP (Spain)
with 169 passengers and 6 crew, was taxiing along Barcelona’s
taxiway K for departure from runway 25L and was maneouvering
to pass behind the Boeing 767-300.
A number of passengers on board of the Boeing 737-800 observed
the right hand wing of the aircraft contact the tailplane
of the Boeing 767-300 and rose out of their seats attracting
the attention of a fl ight attendant. A passenger told
the fl ight attendant, that their aircraft had hit the aircraft
besides them. The fl ight attendant contacted the purser,
who instructed her to contact the fl ight deck, she contacted
the fl ight deck and informed the captain that passengers
had seen their aircraft had hit another aircraft. The captain
responded however everything was fi ne and she continued
with the takeoff about 2 minutes after the Boeing 767.
Immediately after departure the passengers insisted the
fl ight was not safe and they had collided with another aircraft,
one of the passengers identifi ed himself as an engineer.
The fl ight attendant told the engineer that the captain
had been informed and had told everything was fi ne. No further
information was forwarded to the fl ight deck.

After landing in Ibiza, while disembarking, the passengers
again spoke up claiming the fl ight had been unsafe.
During the turnaround the fl ight attendant informed the
purser that one of the passengers observing the collision
was an engineer. Neither approached the fl ight crew however.
Following the return fl ight FR-8137 the purser talked to the
captain and informed her that one of the passengers observing
the collision was an engineer.
In the following it was identifi ed that the right hand winglet
of the Boeing 737-800 had received damage, the Boeing
767-300 was found with damage to the left hand stabilizer
following landing in New York.
Spain’s CIAIAC is investigating the occurrence confi rming the
Boeing 737-800 had contacted a Boeing 767-300 holding
short of runway 25L, the Boeing 737-800 had received damage
to the right hand winglet and the Boeing 767-300 damage
to the left hand stabilizer.
An internal Ryanair document forwarded to The Aviation Herald
states, that none of the Ryanair crew members observed
anything unusual as the taxiway was rather bumpy, it was
only fl ight attendant #2 who became aware of the collision
through the observed passenger reactions.
The airline said the investigation has been completed, the
report appointed no blame and released no safety recommendation
or requirements to Ryanair.
