What happened
While operating a flight from Fukuoka toward Tokyo-Haneda Airport, the flight crew identified mechanical issues during the journey. Due to these reported technical problems, the decision was made to divert the aircraft to Osaka-Itami Airport.
Upon arrival at the diversion airfield, the aircraft performed a landing; however, the plane continued to slide along the runway for several yards after touchdown. Despite the excursion, all 64 occupants on board were able to evacuate the aircraft without sustaining any injuries. Following the incident, the aircraft type/model was determined to have sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
Findings
- The crew initiated an emergency diversion due to technical problems encountered during the flight phase.
