Four pilots have been grounded following a collision involving two Vietnam Airlines aircraft at Hanoi Noi Bai International Airport. The incident occurred on June 27, 2025, when a Boeing 787 Dreamliner collided with an Airbus A321 while taxiing.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) confirmed no injuries were reported among passengers from both flights. However, the collision led to significant disruptions as all passengers had to be evacuated and rebooked on other flights. Vietnam Airlines has yet to comment on the incident.

The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, registered as VN-A863, was taxiing when its right wingtip clipped the vertical stabilizer of the stationary Airbus A321, registered as VN-A338. The Dreamliner was carrying 259 passengers to Ho Chi Minh City, while the Airbus A321 was preparing for departure to Dien Bien with 127 passengers.

Both aircraft remain grounded pending maintenance. Flight tracking data from Flightradar24.com supports this status. Following the collision, four pilots were grounded as part of an ongoing investigation by the CAAV. The authority has secured information about the aircraft and crew and is analyzing the recording devices to determine the cause.

VnExpress reports that the CAAV classified this event as a level B serious incident according to aviation safety standards. This classification indicates a situation where quick reactions are required to prevent a collision but does not involve immediate safety issues like Category D incidents.

In recent months, similar ground collisions have occurred in other parts of the world. In May 2025, two Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-800s clipped wings at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport during pushback operations. Another incident involved United Airlines' Boeing 777-300ERs colliding on the ground during taxiing procedures.
