Turkish Airlines Aircraft Collides with Pole at Antalya Airport, Passengers Evacuated
Turkish Airlines Boeing 777 carrying 267 passengers struck a radar mast at Antalya Airport (AYT) on 11 June 2026, ripping a hole in the fuselage. All occupants were evacuated; Greek-language reporting cites three injuries (severity and party identity not disclosed). Three independent mainstream outlets corroborate the B777/radar-mast/evacuation picture. No airline, lessor, broker or aviation-authority advisory has been issued; hull damage has not been classified as repairable or CTL; no airport-wide operational disruption is reported.

Impact verdict
Medium impact. Loss pathway is commercial aviation hull and aviation liability. Fuselage penetration on a widebody (B777, ~267 PAX) materially raises hull severity versus a generic 'pole strike': repair economics versus constructive total loss (CTL) on a 777 will dominate hull claim size. Three reported injuries activate passenger liability (potential Montreal/Warsaw exposure) and crew personal-injury considerations. Airport infrastructure liability (radar mast / ATC equipment) is a secondary liability line. Severity sits at the upper end of medium given fuselage penetration on a widebody but remains below high absent CTL confirmation, mass casualties, or airport-wide operational stoppage. No runway/apron closure, schedule disruption or BI loss is currently evidenced.
