Globe/wire say Bombardier plane involved in Tokyo crash

2024-01-03 05:52 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, Jan. 3, edition that Japanese investigators are preparing to probe the collision of two airplanes at Tokyo's Haneda airport, weeks after the global airline industry heard fresh warnings about runway safety. A Reuters dispatch to The Globe says that all 379 people aboard a Japan Airlines Airbus A350 escaped after a collision with a De Havilland Dash-8 Coast Guard turboprop that killed five of six crew on the smaller aircraft. People familiar with the investigation said the Japan Safety Transport Board (JTSB) would lead the probe with participation from agencies in France, where the airplane was built, and Britain where its two Rolls-Royce engines were manufactured. Experts have cautioned it is too early to pinpoint a cause and stress most accidents are caused by a cocktail of factors. However, investigators are widely expected to explore what instructions were given by controllers to the two aircraft, alongside a detailed examination of plane and airport systems. A ministry official said the A350 was attempting to land normally when it collided with the coast guard plane, also known as a Bombardier Dash-8. One of the first tasks will be to recover black box recorders.
