On 2 January 2024, a runway collision occurred between Japan Airlines Flight 516 (JAL516), an Airbus A350-900, and a De Havilland Canada Dash 8 operated by the Japanese Coast Guard. JAL516 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from New Chitose Airport near Sapporo, Japan, to Haneda Airport in Tokyo. While JAL516 was landing at Haneda Airport, it collided with the Dash 8 on the runway and both aircraft caught fire.[2][3][4][5] The collision killed five of the six crew onboard the Dash 8, but all 367 passengers and 12 crew of the A350 were successfully evacuated with no loss of life.[6][7]

Both aircraft were destroyed by fire following the crash,[8][9] marking the first serious incident involving an A350 and the first hull loss of the type since its introduction in 2015, as well as the first hull loss by accident of an all-composite aircraft.[10][11] It was both the first fatal accident and the first hull loss involving a Japan Airlines aircraft since the crash of Flight 123 in 1985.[12][9]

Aircraft

The Japan Airlines (JAL) aircraft involved in the accident was an Airbus A350-941,[Note 1] registered as JA13XJ with manufacturer serial number 538. The aircraft was just over two years old at the time of the collision, taking its first flight on 20 September 2021, and was delivered to JAL on 10 November that same year.[13][14]

The Japan Coast Guard aircraft involved was a De Havilland Canada Dash 8-300, registered as JA722A with manufacturer serial number 656. The aircraft was about 16 years old, taking its first flight in November 2007, and was delivered to the Coast Guard in March 2009.[15] The aircraft involved had been damaged in the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami while it was parked at Sendai Airport and was the only aircraft damaged there to be repaired after the disaster.[1]

Incident

Airport layout with the location of the runway collision and the wreckage of both aircraft.[16]

JAL516 departed New Chitose Airport at 16:27 JST (07:27 UTC) en route to Haneda Airport.[17] The flight landed after dark with light and variable winds, visibility greater than 10 km (6.2 mi), few clouds at 2,000 feet (610 m), and a scattered cloud layer at 9,000 feet (2,700 m).[14]

At approximately 17:47 JST (08:47 UTC), while landing at Haneda Airport on runway 34R, JAL516 collided with a Japan Coast Guard DHC-8-315 Dash 8,[17][18] which was reportedly not equipped with an ADS-B transponder. CCTV footage shows a fireball erupted from the planes, with the JAL aircraft leaving a fiery trail as it moved down the runway[19] for about 1 km (0.62 mi) before coming to a stop.[20][21] Smoke entered its cabin.[22][23] Fire services arrived at the site in about three minutes, with about 100 fire engines responding.[19] According to the Tokyo Fire Department, the fire was mostly extinguished shortly after midnight,[24] by which time the plane's structure had collapsed due to the intensity of the flames.[25] The collision and subsequent fire were caught on CCTV cameras located in Terminal 2.[26]

According to a statement by a JAL spokesperson, the three pilots felt a sudden shock immediately after the plane landed and lost control of the aircraft while trying to maintain its course along the runway. They were not aware that a fire had broken out on board until they were informed of the situation by a cabin attendant.[27] One of the pilots later said that prior to the collision, he had seen an object that had given him concern. However, the three pilots denied having visually confirmed the presence of the Coast Guard aircraft.[28]

All 367 passengers and 12 crew members onboard JAL516 exited using three of the aircraft's eight evacuation slides located at doors 1L, 1R and 4L.[5][29] JAL said the aircraft's in-flight announcement system stopped functioning, forcing the crew to give out instructions using megaphones and their voices directly.[9] Among those onboard were eight children.[30] Two pets, a dog and a cat, were checked-in on board and died.[31] Fourteen people onboard had minor injuries,[32][33][34] with four of them being sent to a hospital.[25] It was observed that no one exited with carry-on luggage, a factor which aided smoother evacuation from the aircraft.[35] Another factor cited in the survival of those on board was that the aircraft, which is one of the first commercial models to be made of composite, carbon-fibre materials, appeared to have withstood the initial impact of the collision and fire relatively well.[29] The aircraft was fully evacuated at 18:05 JST (09:05 UTC), 18 minutes after the landing.[20] According to the Japan Broadcasting Corporation NHK, the captain was the last person to leave the aircraft.[36]

The Japan Coast Guard aircraft, carrying six crew members, was preparing to bring supplies to an airbase in Niigata in response to the Sea of Japan earthquake, which had occurred the day before.[19] It was one of four aircraft deployed by the government to provide help to the affected areas.[37] The aircraft was reported to be in a stationary position on the runway for around 40 seconds before the collision. The captain, who reported that the back of the aircraft suddenly caught fire shortly after he had increased the engine power[28][38] before exploding following the collision,[25] survived with serious injuries, while the five remaining crew members were confirmed dead by the Tokyo Fire Department.[39][40][41][42][43] The wreckage of the Coast Guard aircraft plane was left several hundred metres from the final stopping point of the JAL plane.[44]

Aftermath

Although all passengers and crew on the Airbus A350 were evacuated with few minor injuries, the plane was damaged beyond repair, with JAL estimating its operational losses from its destruction at 15 billion yen ($105 million), which was covered by insurance.[28] The aircraft following immediately behind Flight 516—JAL166, a Boeing 737-800 approaching runway 34R—performed a go-around at 1,150 feet (350 m) before diverting to Narita International Airport. There were also several flights waiting for takeoff; most returned to the terminal after the runways were closed.[14]

The incident occurred as millions were traveling for the New Year holidays, one of the busiest travel periods of the year. All runways at Haneda Airport were temporarily closed following the crash, and many flights were diverted to nearby Narita Airport, as well as Chubu Centrair International Airport and Kansai International Airport.[45] Others were cancelled as the result of the crash,[46][47] with All Nippon Airways registering 112 domestic flight cancellations for the rest of the day[48] and JAL cancelling 116 domestic flights.[21] At around 21:30 JST (12:30 UTC), Haneda Airport's remaining three runways were reopened according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT).[49] About 140 flights were cancelled on 3 January,[50] while at least 34,000 passengers were affected by flight disruptions following the accident.[51]

The Japanese government set up an information liaison office at the Crisis Management Center in the Prime Minister's Office.[46] The Japan Transport Safety Board announced that a formal investigation would begin on 3 January.[52]

Reactions

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida extended his condolences to the dead, referring to their service to the victims of the 2024 Sea of Japan earthquake.[53] Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike also expressed sadness over "the fact that 'one disaster led to another disaster'".[54][55]

IATA posted on Twitter extending its condolences to the passengers and crew onboard the two aircraft. They also expressed condolences regarding the previous day's earthquake.[56]

Airbus released a statement confirming it was in communication with JAL and would "communicate further details when available".[57][58] It also said that it was sending specialists to help in the investigation.[25]

JAL released a statement confirming the events of the runway collision and sent condolences to the families and friends of the five people killed. It also apologized for the inconvenience and distress caused to passengers, friends, families, and everyone affected by the incident, and gave assurances that it would cooperate with the investigation.[59] JAL also offered full refunds and free rebooking up until 31 January for passengers who had already booked flights scheduled between 2 January and 1 April.[60]

Investigation

The Japan Transport Safety Board announced that it had recovered the flight data and voice recorders of the Coast Guard aircraft, while the search for those of the JAL plane remains ongoing.[61][62]

The French Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (BEA) announced on Twitter that they will be cooperating with Airbus during the investigation.[63][64] It also added that it would send a team to Japan to investigate the incident,[65] as part of their protocol for accidents involving an Airbus aircraft.[66] UK investigators from engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce also planned to join them.[67]

On 3 January, the MLIT released the transcript of air traffic control communication, covering the last 4 minutes and 27 seconds before the crash.[68][50] It showed that prior to the accident, air traffic controllers cleared the JAL aircraft to land on runway 34R,[69] while the Coast Guard aircraft was instructed to hold short of the runway and remain on the taxiway.[52] NHK, however, citing a source within the Coast Guard, reported that the pilot of the Coast Guard plane claimed to have received clearance to take off.[44] It also reported that police were investigating possible professional negligence as a cause of the incident.[25]

According to a copy of the bulletin posted by U.S. regulators on 25 December 2023, a notice to pilots in force before the accident suggested that a strip of stop lights, embedded in the tarmac as an extra safety measure, to prevent wrong turns, was out of service.[70][71]
