TOKYO\u2014<\/strong> A Singapore Airlines (SQ)<\/a> Boeing 787 overran the runway at Tokyo Narita Airport (NRT) on July 20, 2025, following a routine flight from Singapore Changi Airport (SIN). The aircraft, performing flight SQ638<\/strong>, came to a stop beyond the runway at low speed without any injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred during landing on Runway 16L (2500 meters) at approximately 07:59 local time. The aircraft stopped with its nose gear on the paved runway end safety area and required towing assistance before resuming operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singapore Airlines 787 Overrun at Tokyo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 6.3-year-old aircraft involved in the incident is a Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner<\/a>, registered 9V-SCJ<\/strong>, operating as Singapore Airlines flight SQ638<\/strong> from Singapore (SIN)<\/strong> to Tokyo Narita (NRT)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scheduled departure was on July 19<\/strong>, with actual landing on July 20, 2025<\/strong>, at 07:59 local time (22:59Z)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon touchdown on Runway 16L<\/strong> at Narita, the aircraft reportedly crossed the runway threshold at about 15 knots<\/strong> ground speed before coming to a complete stop in the paved runway end safety area (RESA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2500-meter (8200-foot)<\/strong> runway length appeared marginal under the prevailing conditions, though the precise contributing factors remain under review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were no reported injuries<\/strong> to passengers or crew. Airport ground services responded swiftly, and the aircraft was towed back approximately 40 minutes later<\/strong> to a suitable location on the tarmac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the incident, ground personnel assessed the Boeing 787-10 for any damage. With no immediate technical issues reported, the aircraft was cleared for service. However, the return flight to Singapore was delayed by around 3.5 hours<\/strong> due to inspection and repositioning procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flight tracking data confirmed that the aircraft resumed normal operations later that day, suggesting minimal or no structural damage, Aviation Herald<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
