Japan Airlines plane on fire on runway after landing at Japanese airport

A Japan Airlines plane was engulfed in flames after landing at Haneda Airport on Tuesday.

The flight, JL516, which was travelling from Chitose, Hokkaido, may have struck a Japan Coast Guard plane as it was landing, officials told Japanese broadcaster NHK, saying it was a preliminary assessment.

There were 367 passengers and 12 crew members onboard when the flight landed, NHK reported. All 379 have safely left the plane, the airline said.

Live video from the airport, an international hub on the outskirts of Tokyo, showed firefighters battling flames that have engulfed the aircraft’s fuselage.
