The planes were reportedly just over a quarter mile apart before the pilot hit the brakes
On July 12, 2023, at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, a collision was narrowly avoided between two planes on a runway, as reported by Japan's transport ministry. An Eva Airways plane from Taipei was preparing for takeoff when a Thai Airways plane mistakenly entered the same runway. The incident occurred around 11 a.m. local time, and the pilot of the Eva Airways flight aborted takeoff upon receiving an alert from air traffic control. No injuries were reported, but the event led to the temporary closure of the runway, causing delays. The transport ministry is investigating the incident, focusing on communication between air traffic control and the pilots.
