All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight NH968 from Shanghai narrowly avoids a potential mid-air collision while approaching Tokyo’s Haneda Airport on Tuesday morning, according to Japanese media reports and ANA. The flight, scheduled to land at Haneda at about 6 a.m., activates its traffic alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS) during the approach. The system warns of a potential collision risk with another aircraft described in the reports as a government inspection plane. ANA says the crew took evasive action after receiving the TCAS alert, and the aircraft continues to approach and land at Haneda without reported injuries or damage in the accounts provided. The incident is presented as the latest aviation safety event at Haneda following a deadly runway collision in 2024. Details such as the precise aircraft positions, maneuvers made beyond the evasive action, and whether any visual contact or communication occurred are not included in the excerpts from the outlets.
