At around 2:00 p.m. on June 27, at Noi Bai International Airport, an incident occurred where two aircraft collided at the intersection of taxiways S3 and S. The incident occurred when the A321 aircraft was waiting on the taxiway to prepare for takeoff. Meanwhile, the Boeing 787 aircraft had just landed and was taxiing onto the apron.
