At around 9:19 p.m. on September 23, an All Nippon Airways (ANA) Flight 1502 from Okinawa/Naha to Saga (Boeing 737-800, registration: JA86AN) returned to Naha Airport and carried out an emergency evacuation after a malfunction occurred in its right engine. Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism classified the incident as a serious incident on the same day.
According to ANA and ANA Wings, the flight departed Naha Airport at 8:58 p.m. on September 23. At around 9:19 p.m., while climbing after takeoff, cockpit displays indicated aircraft vibration and a high oil temperature in the right engine, prompting the crew to shut down the engine. The aircraft subsequently made an emergency landing at Naha Airport, stopped on a taxiway, and conducted an emergency evacuation.
Of the six crew members and 152 passengers, including four infants, three passengers sustained minor injuries such as scrapes to their knees during the evacuation. No other passengers reported feeling unwell.
The flight was canceled after returning to Naha. The cause is under investigation, and the aircraft has been preserved in consultation with the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
ANA plans to operate an extra flight, ANA1326, on the 24th, departing Okinawa/Naha at 9:30 a.m. and arriving in Fukuoka at 11:10 a.m. Passengers are scheduled to travel on this flight or other flights on the same route.
