Travelers crowd the check-in area at terminal 2 at Tokyo International Airport at Haneda on January 3, 2024, as flight delays on one of the busiest travel days of the year following the New Year's Day holidays were made worse due to the collision on the tarmac the night before between a coast guard plane and a Japan Airlines (JAL) passenger jet, shutting down one of the main runways.
All 379 people on JAL flight 516, including eight children under the age of two, were safely evacuated from the passenger plane, according to the airline.
Five crew members died on the second aircraft, a De Havilland Canada DHC-8, according to Japan’s transport minister, Tetsuo Saito.
