![]() ![]() The Dash 8 was fitted with a Mode S-capable transponder but was reportedly not equipped with ADS-B this meant the aircraft's position and speed were not reported by the aircraft itself and instead relied on multilateration by on-ground receivers. The aircraft had been damaged in the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami while parked at Sendai Airport, and was the only aircraft damaged there to be repaired after the disaster. The aircraft was approximately 16 years old, first flying in November 2007, and acquired by the Coast Guard in March 2009. The Japan Coast Guard aircraft involved was a De Havilland Canada DHC-8-315Q MPA, manufacturer serial number 656, nicknamed Mizunagi-1 ( Japanese: みずなぎ1号), and registered as JA722A. The aircraft was just over two years old at the time of the collision, first flying on 20 September 2021 and delivered to JAL on 10 November. The JAL aircraft involved in the accident was an Airbus A350-941, manufacturer serial number 538, and registered as JA13XJ. 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. The collision ignited fires that destroyed both aircraft. 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 2024 Noto earthquake which occurred the day before. 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. 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. ![]() 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.
