CAAC confirmed today that a serious runway incursion incident occurred on Apr 30 at night at Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport between a China Southern Airlines A319 and Xiamen Airlines Boeing 737 aircraft. The two aircraft were both ready to depart and the A319 was initially in front of the 737. The 737 was instructed to follow the A319 onto the runway after the A319 has taken off. However, the 737 entered the runway at the wrong taxiway (E) whereas it was supposed to follow the A319 and enter the runway at taxiway A. When the 737 pilot found that he has entered the runway wrongly, he attempted to make a U-turn at the intersection of the runway and taxiway E to exit the runway from taxiway E. The tower apparently did not notice the situation and gave permission to the A319 to roll. The A319 pilots did not look ahead and started accelerating down the runway. The 737 pilot was reportedly to start yelling "Stop the take-off! Stop the take-off! You tell him to stop the take-off" to the tower. The speed of the A319 was 86 knots at that time and the pilot of the A319 brakes immediately. It took the A319 9 seconds and 600m to fully stop on the runway. It was only 40m (or 120ft) from the 737 head-to-head (implying that the 737 has completed about 270 degrees of its 360-degree U-turn to go back to the taxiway) on the runway the time it stopped.
Xiamen Airlines said the 737 pilot was suspended pending investigation.
From Ming Pao newspaper HongKong:
內地民航局航空安全辦公室證實,4月30 日廈門航空與南方航空兩架飛機,在大連機場跑道險對頭相撞。
民航總局表示,發生事故征候的原因正在調查之中。而廈門航空有關負責人表示,該飛機已經投入正常運營,但機師正在接受調查。
有網民稱,4月30日晚間,南航A319(CZ6621)與廈門B737(MF8052)差點在跑道上發生重大事故。幸好機師當機立斷,避免了事故的發生。
據該帖子描述稱,當天晚上,B737在A319后面滑行,控制台的指令是A319起飛後B737再進跑道,但B737搞錯了進跑道的入口,進了E(本來應該先進A),然後又沒有目視前機A319起飛。進入後發現錯了,打算掉頭從E脫離,此時控制台已經給A319發了起飛指令。
B737發現搞錯了,準備脫離,但是來不及了,此時B737在無線電里狂喊「中斷起飛,中斷起飛,你讓他中斷起飛」。A319此時的時速已經達到86海里,馬上執行中斷,從收油門至完全停住用了近9秒時間,距離為600米。完全停住後,兩架飛機是對頭狀態。
帖子聲稱「最後發現兩機的前輪距離不足40米」,而另外一個跟帖者則表示「兩機相距不過15米」。
