Two planes likely made contact, causing runway closure at Tokyo's Haneda airport: NHK


TOKYO - Some flights were delayed at Tokyo's Haneda airport on Saturday (June 10) after two planes appeared to have collided on the ground near a taxiway, public broadcaster NHK reported, citing Japan's transport ministry.
No injuries occurred, NHK said, but the incident led to the closure of one of four runways at the airport at about 11am (10am Singapore time).
The broadcaster showed footage of Eva Airways and Thai Airways jets on the ground.
Part of the wing of the Thai Airways plane looked to be broken, and what appeared to be fragments could be seen near the runway.
Japan's transport ministry did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
