Hong Kong Airlines A330 Taxiway Excursion at New Chitose Airport

MIAMI – On January 29, a Hong Kong Airlines Airbus A330 finished its landing run in deep snow without leaving the runway at New Chitose Airport (CTS) in Japan. The incident caused no injuries or damage.

The aircraft apparently got stuck at the beginning of a taxiway not yet cleared of snow. After unsuccessfully trying to move out on its own power, the snow was cleared in front of the nose landing gear and the aircraft towed to the gate.
