A 30-year-old man died after he entered a Delta Airlines's Airbus A220-100 engine cowling at Salt Lake City Airport. Police said that the man had gone through the emergency exit door and entered the ramp. Soon after, the man went onto the airport's de-icing pad. He then entered the aircraft's engine intake cowling.[1]
2 January
A runway collision at Haneda Airport in Tokyo occurred when Japan Airlines Flight 516, operated by an Airbus A350-900 arriving from Sapporo, collided with a Japan Coast Guard aircraft and both aircraft caught on fire. This resulted in the complete destruction of both aircraft. All 367 passengers and 12 crew members of the Airbus were evacuated. There were six occupants onboard the Coast Guard aircraft, a De Havilland Canada Dash 8; the captain escaped with serious injuries whilst the remaining five crew members were killed. The Coast Guard aircraft was scheduled to provide relief to Niigata in response to the Sea of Japan earthquake.[2][3]
