Multiple aviation outlets report that an Iberia Airbus A350 is damaged following a failed water cannon salute in Ecuador. The incident occurs when the aircraft is met by the traditional emergency-style water jets intended to celebrate a special flight. According to the reports, the salute does not go as planned and results in damage to the aircraft’s winglet. As a consequence of the damage, an Iberia flight bound for Madrid is cancelled, and the aircraft is grounded for inspection and repair. The sources describe the event as an operational mishap during a celebratory water cannon procedure rather than a flight-related accident. No additional details about injuries, the aircraft’s registration, or the specific repair timeline are provided in the cited summaries. Overall, the coverage focuses on the same sequence: a water cannon salute intended for celebration goes wrong in Ecuador, winglet damage is identified, and the airline cancels the affected Madrid-bound departure pending aircraft maintenance.
