For several days, the new A330neo from the German company Condor has been standing out in the Toulouse sky thanks to its green striped livery.

Currently in the test phase, the device experienced a small incident this Monday at the end of the day.

During a tow, it hit a building, without causing any injuries according to the spotter "French painter", a passionate aviation photographer who observes planes taking off from the ends of the runway.

The manufacturer told

La Dépêche

that analyzes of the damage would take place in coordination with the airline.

This aircraft is the first of an order of 18 A330-900neo long-haul aircraft which Condor will eventually take possession of.

The first should start its commercial flights later, in particular to destinations such as Mauritius and the Maldives.
