"Japan Enhances Aviation Safety Measures After Haneda Airport Collision"

Japan's transportation ministry has introduced improved emergency measures for the country's airports following a fatal collision between a Japan Airlines jetliner and a coast guard plane at Tokyo's Haneda airport. The measures include more visible stop line markings on taxiways, clearer language in traffic control communication, and new positions to monitor unauthorized runway entry. The collision, seen as a result of human error, occurred when the JAL flight landed behind the coast guard aircraft preparing to take off on the same runway, resulting in flames engulfing both aircraft. The probe into the collision is focusing on the cause of the coast guard flight crew's mistaken belief that they had clearance for takeoff.
