Four Pilots Suspended After Boeing Plane Collides with Parked Airbus

  • On June 27, two Vietnam Airlines planes collided on the taxiway at Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport, damaging both aircraft.
  • Initial investigations reveal that the Airbus A321 was positioned incorrectly on taxiway S3, which played a role in the accident.
  • The Boeing 787's right wingtip cut through the Airbus A321's tail fin, grounding both planes for technical inspections and leading to replacement aircraft for 386 passengers.
  • Vietnam Airlines has suspended four pilots—two from each affected flight—and formed an independent investigation team working alongside Vietnam’s aviation regulatory agency, which has categorized the event as a Level B serious incident.
  • The airline is actively working with aviation officials to identify the cause of the accident and enhance measures to avoid future occurrences, while investigators continue to examine the incident amid questions raised by the clear weather and good visibility.
