- Date: September 27, 1996
- Aircraft: Dassault Falcon 10
- Location: Madrid-Barajas-Adolfo Suárez, Madrid, Spain
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Taxi
- Cause: The Falcon did not follow the tower's initial taxi instructions and lost separation with the 727, which was moving too fast on Taxiway A. The ground controller realized the danger too late to prevent the collision.
A Dassault Falcon 10 that had landed at Madrid-Barajas collided on the ground with a Boeing 727 cargo jet after the two aircraft ended up rolling almost in parallel on adjacent taxiways. The collision happened where taxiways A-8 and M-8 meet. The Falcon was damaged beyond repair, but all four occupants, including actor Gérard Depardieu, were unhurt.
