A Swiss Airbus A320-200, registration HB-IJS performing flight LX-1472 from Geneva (Switzerland) to Prague (Czech Republic), completed a seemingly uneventful flight with a safe landing on Prague's runway 24.

Czechia's UZPLN reported however that a post flight inspection of the aircraft revealed damage to the left hand wing root fairing. The return flight was cancelled, the aircraft was taken to a hangar of CSA Technics. Following repairs the aircraft was able to depart Prague the following day. The cause of the damage is being investigated by the operator.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 24 hours, positioned as flight LX-5073 to Zurich (Switzerland) and resumed service.
