Tokyo's Haneda Airport Resumes Normal Operations After Fatal Collision

Investigation Continues into Cause of Incident that Resulted in Over 1,200 Flight Cancellations

Tokyo's Haneda airport has resumed normal operations after a fatal collision between a Japan Airlines plane and a coast guard aircraft a week ago.
The collision, believed to have been caused by human error, resulted in the deaths of five coast guard crew members.
Over 1,200 flights were cancelled affecting about 200,000 passengers during the New Year holiday period due to the incident.
The investigation is focusing on why the coast guard flight crew believed they had clearance for takeoff, despite no clear confirmation from traffic control.
Additional safety measures have been implemented at Haneda airport, including a new position specifically assigned to monitor the runway.
