On 2 January 2024, a runway collision occurred between an Airbus A350, operating Japan Airlines Flight 516 (JAL516), and a De Havilland Canada Dash 8 operated by the Japan Coast Guard. While JAL516 was landing at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan, it collided with the Coast Guard plane on the runway and both aircraft caught fire.Five of the six crew on board the Dash 8 died in the collision, but all 367 passengers and 12 crew on the A350 survived.
JAL516 was a scheduled passenger flight from New Chitose Airport near Sapporo, Japan, to Haneda Airport in Tokyo, and the Coast Guard plane was on a relief mission in response to the Sea of Japan earthquake which occurred the day before. The collision ignited fires that destroyed both aircraft.It was Japan Airlines' first major accident and hull loss since Flight 123 in 1985, and also the first hull loss of an Airbus A350, an aircraft largely made of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer.
Note: In the Turboprop Flight Simulator game, the A350 and Dash 8 Q300 were not included. Haneda Airport had only three separate runways, but in this airport game called Beach Airport, there are two runways.
