Two planes carrying a total of more than 400 passengers barely missed colliding on a runway at Incheon International Airport on Thursday.
Singapore Air flight SQ9016 headed for San Francisco was forced to stop suddenly when a Korean Air KE929 headed for Saint Petersburg suddenly appeared on the runway.
The tires of the Singapore plane were severely damaged, delaying departure for 19 hours and was later changed to another plane Singapore Air flight SQ16.
Korean flight KE929 left for Saint Petersburg soon after the near catastrophe.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) is investigating and will release its report in two to three weeks.
