On the 10th, an accident occurred when a T’way Air passenger plane collided with a bird at Incheon International Airport. In this accident, sparks flew from the engine, but there were no casualties.
According to Yonhap News, T’way Air Flight TW216, which departed from Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan, collided with a bird while landing on the runway at Incheon Airport at 9:28 p.m. A loud noise and sparks occurred as the bird was sucked into the engine. It is reported that flames were visible from the engine, but there was no fire.
A fire report was reported to the airport authorities, and the Incheon Airport fire brigade was dispatched. The plane landed safely at 9:41 PM following a go-around (retakeoff following a failed landing). It is said that all 122 passengers were not injured. The airline plans to conduct engine inspections to ensure safe operations.

By year, there were 108 cases in 2019, 76 cases in 2020, 109 cases in 2021, 131 cases in 2022, and 76 cases in 2023 (until August). By airport, Gimpo Airport had the most cases with a total of 115.
