The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has published its final report on a runway incursion involving a United Airlines Boeing 777-200 and a Cessna C208B Caravan in Honolulu, Hawaii, on January 23, 2023.

In the report, while the NTSB classified the incident as a runway incursion, investigators detailed that the 777-200, registered as N774UA and operating flight UA384, and the C208B Caravan, registered as N145KA, were separated by 1,173 feet (357.5 meters) at the closest distance.

Nevertheless, the event at Honolulu Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) prompted the NTSB to examine both flight crews’ actions and the airport’s design more closely.
