Flight JU324 lined up on Belgrade’s Nikola Tesla Airport runway 30L at 16:38 UTC on one of the intersecting taxiways more than half way down the runway .

The aircraft began its departure roll shortly after, becoming airborne at 16:39 UTC. During its departure, the aircraft’s left side was severely damaged when it struck the opposing runway’s instrument landing system array.

A long gash down the side of the aircraft as well as damage to the wing root (where the wing meets the body of the aircraft) are visible.
