An Aeromexico Embraer ERJ-170, registration XA-SAC performing flight AM-2039 from Chihuahua to Monterrey (Mexico), was accelerating for takeoff from Chihuahua's runway 18L at 18:53L (00:53Z Apr 11th) when the aircraft, still on the ground with the main gear, rolled left causing the left wing tip to strike the ground. The aircraft dragged the wingtip over the ground for a considerable distance (a surveillance video suggests about 400 meters/1310 feet), the main gear became airborne with the left wing tip still on the ground and the aircraft finally became fully airborne, climbed out to safety and returned to Chihuahua for a safe landing.

A replacement ERJ-170 registration XA-ACI reached Monterrey with a delay of 3.5 hours.
