Final Report, A359(JA13XJ)-DH8C(JA722A) Tokyo Haneda, Japan, 2024
On 2 January 2024, an Airbus A350-900 collided with a Bombardier DHC8-300 almost immediately after a night touchdown in good visibility at Tokyo Haneda after the DHC8 had entered the runway for departure without clearance. Both aircraft caught fire. The DHC8 was destroyed and five of the six occupants died. The A350 then veered off the runway and stopped but all 379 occupants evacuated prior to complete destruction by fire. A TWR visual-only runway incursion warning was unnoticed for over a minute and stop bar lighting was out of service for upgrading and anyway only routinely used in low visibility.
