Accidents & Serious Incidents involving B772
- B763 / B772, Chitose Japan, 2007 (RI HF) (On 27 June 2007, a Skymark Boeing 767-300 rejected its night take off from the 3000 metre-long runway 19R at New Chitose from around 80 knots when an All Nippon Boeing 777-200 which had just landed on runway 19L was seen to be taxying across the runway near the far end. There was no actual risk of collision. Both aircraft were being operated in accordance with conflicting air traffic clearances issued by the same controller. None of the three controllers present in the TWR including the Supervisor noticed the error until alerted by the aircraft rejected take off call.)
- B772 / A321, London Heathrow UK, 2007 (GND HF) (On 27 July 2007, a British Airways Boeing 777-200 collided, during pushback, with a stationary Airbus A321-200. The A321 was awaiting activation of the electronic Stand Entry Guidance (SEG) and expecting entry to its designated gate.)
- B772, Denver CO USA, 2001 (GND FIRE HF) (On 5 September 2001, a British Airways Boeing 777-236 on the ground at Denver USA, was substantially damaged, and a refuelling operative killed, when a fire broke out following the failure of a refuelling coupling under pressure because of improper attachment.)
- B772, London Heathrow UK, 2007 (AW FIRE) (On 26 February 2007, a Boeing 777-222 operated by United Airlines, after pushback from the stand at London Heathrow Airport, experienced internal failure of an electrical component which subsequently led to under-floor fire. The aircraft returned to a stand where was attended by the Airfield Fire Service and the passengers were evacuated.)
- B772, London Heathrow UK, 2008 (LOC AW) (On 17 January 2008, a Boeing 777‑236ER crash-landed at London Heathrow after a loss of engine power on short final. This reduction of thrust (rollback) was the result of ice causing a restriction in the fuel feed system and subsequently led to a loss of airspeed and the aircraft touching down some 330 m short of the paved surface of Runway 27L at London Heathrow.)
