In this episode of  my new series Aviation News, I cover major or even minor Aviation News WORLDWIDE in my goal to discuss the industry & keep you up to date on any relevant happenings in the aviation industry...

Today's video will  be a less happy but *DEFINITELY NEWS WORTHY* story as earlier this morning January 2nd, 2024, (At the time of this publication)
A Japan Airlines Airbus A350-900 (JA13XJ) COLLIDED with a Japan Coast Guard  Bombardier Dash 8-Q400 airplane at Tokyo's Haneda International Airport while performing a routine landing! Luckily ALL the 367 passengers and crew aboard JL516 from Sapporo (CTS) to Tokyo (HND) evacuated the aircraft while It was on FIRE!!🔥 
*ALSO however, 5 people aboard the Dash 8-Q300 NOT THE JAL A350 tragically passed away in this horrible accident!* My condolences to the 5 people’s family and friends who passed away following this TRAGIC incident.

*MAJOR UPDATE on Jan 3rd, 2024. 5 European Aviation Transportation Authority Investigators arrived in Japan to conduct the mandatory crash  investigation into the crash and 4 Technical Experts from Airbus will also join them in the investigation*
*The official accident investigation is NOW AVAILABLE as of April 7th, 2024 linked below is the official accident report for those who'd like to read the official accident reports and findings*

This has now officially been declared a complete loss by JAL & their aviation insurers. *JAL has been given $130 MILLION* (USD) by their insurers in their *“all risks policy”*  to help repay & repair the airport damage the accident caused. The hull loss of the *A350 aircraft itself has cost JAL $98.9 MILLION* (USD) This breaks the world record as the most expensive accident in Japanese aviation history & second most expensive accident ever right behind the Tenerife Pan Am-KLM 747 crash!
