Guangzhou Baiyun aircraft collision


Guangzhou Baiyun aircraft collision

The Guangzhou Baiyun aircraft collisions were the result of the hijacking of Xiamen Airlines Flight 8301 on October 2, 1990, when the hijacked aircraft collided with two others on the runways of the old Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport while attempting to land. The hijacked aircraft struck a China Southwest Airlines aircraft first, inflicting only minor damage, but then collided with China Southern Airlines Flight 2812 and flipped on its back. Fatalities included 7 of 9 crew members and 75 of 93 passengers on the hijacked Flight 8301 and 46 of 110 passengers on Flight 2812.
