While JAL516 was landing at the airport, it collided with the Coast Guard plane on the runway and both aircraft caught fire. Five of the six crew on board the Dash 8 died in the collision, with only the captain surviving. Everyone on board the A350 survived.JAL516 was a scheduled domestic 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. The collision ignited fires that destroyed both aircraft. It was Japan Airlines' first major accident and hull loss since Flight 123 in 1985, and also the first major accident and hull loss of an Airbus A350.
