Korean Air evacuates plane at Japan's Haneda airport after engine smoke



TOKYO (REUTERS) - Korean Air Lines evacuated 319 passengers and crew from an aircraft preparing to take off from Japan’s Haneda Airport in Tokyo after smoke came from its left engine.

The incident prompted authorities to temporarily close down Japan’s busiest aviation hub.

Images broadcast by NHK showed the Boeing 777 on a runway being sprayed with foam by fire trucks, with four of its emergency slides deployed. The aircraft, which was due to fly to Seoul in South Korea, is powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engines.

No injuries were reported, although around 30 passengers said they felt unwell, the state-owned broadcaster said.

Haneda Airport, located on Tokyo Bay, handles around 550 flights a day with around 75 million passengers passing through the hub last year, making it one of the world’s busiest airport.

Singapore Airlines flight to Shanghai delayed for 4 hours due to issue with landing gear

Chew Hui Min

May 27, 2016

A Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight from Singapore to Shanghai was delayed for four hours on Thursday (May 26) due to a technical problem.

Flight SQ830, an Airbus 380-800, was due to depart Changi Airport at 9.45am but left at only 1.46pm.

The 327 passengers and crew on board took a different aircraft to their destination.
Mr Lee Beng Hai, 69, told The Straits Times that he sent his friends to the airport at 7.20am, and the group of about 20 people were still waiting for the plane to depart at 1.30pm.

They were initially told there the plane had a computer glitch, then that there was problem with the landing gear, the retiree said.
"After initial repairs, the plane was said to be ready for takeoff but then it was aborted again due to the landing gear problem," he said.

Passengers were told to disembark and wait for another plane, he wrote in an e-mail.

His friend questioned if the plane should have had a "full system check" before boarding, he added.

A spokesman for SIA said the plane "experienced a technical issue with the landing gear system while it was on ground".

"The aircraft returned to gate twice for engineering checks, after which a replacement aircraft was deployed."

All passengers were served light refreshments prior to boarding, SIA said. Mr Lee said these included biscuits, and that his friends were given a report on the cause of the delay.

SIA plane also can delay so don't blame budget airline.

Vietnam Airlines finalizes stake sale to Japanese carrier

Thanh Nien News
HO CHI MINH CITY - Sunday, May 29, 2016 10:49



Vietnam national carrier has officially inked a deal to sell a 8.77 percent stake to Japan’s biggest airline All Nippon Airways, making it a strategic investor.

The contract worth more than US$109 million was signed Saturday in Tokyo during a visit by Vietnam’s newly-elected Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc.

Complete payment will be made by July 1, news website VnExpress reported.
The new partnership, with some representative from the Japanese airline joining Vietnam Airlines’ board of directors, is set to help expand the carriers’ networks.

The two planned to launch a program from October 30 to jointly operate 30 domestic routes in Japan and Vietnam, and ten routes between the two countries. The cooperation is not only limited to passenger transport, but also in cargo transport, in-flight and ground services, including aircraft maintenance.

Vietnam Airlines, which now controls nearly half of the domestic passenger air market, is offering 66 flights a week to Japan.

Following the deal, its state ownership will be cut to 87.73 percent.
Vietnam Airlines has plans to to sell more chunks of shares to reduce the rate to 75 percent, and then 65 percent, according to local media reports.

The carrier has divested from 13 non-core businesses, including finance, insurance and real estate companies, in another restructuring effort.

It now has stakes in 19 companies, including budget airline Jetstar Pacific and Cambodia-based airline Angkor Air.

Vietnam Airlines is expecting revenue to grow 12.7 percent to VND77.8 trillion ($3.45 billion) this year, and an increase of 15.5 percent in the number of passengers, to 20.1 million.
