New collision between two planes at a Japanese airport. A month after a fatal collision at Tokyo-Haneda Airport, a new incident occurred at an airport in western Japan.
The wings of the two aircraft came into contact but no passengers or crew members were injured in this incident.

Following these accidents, the Japanese government announced that it had strengthened air traffic control procedures throughout the country.
