A Sunwing Boeing 737-800, registration OK-TSR performing flight
WG-720 from Toronto,ON (Canada) to Montego Bay (Jamaica), was climbing out of Toronto's runway 06L when the crew reported they had had a tail strike, stopped the climb at 6000 feet and returned to Toronto for a safe landing on runway 05 about 20 minutes after departure.
The Canadian TSB reported the crew carried out an overweight landing. Maintenance found minor scraping to the tail skid assembly that remained within limits. An overweight landing inspection was done and the aircraft returned to service.
The aircraft departed again after about 3 hours on the ground and reached Montego Bay with a delay of about 3.5 hours.
