The aircraft, registered as RP-C7782, landed safely at 03:30. Emergency response teams inspected the plane upon arrival, but no evidence of smoke or fire was found. A female passenger reportedly felt unwell during the incident, though no serious injuries were reported. As a precaution, Haneda’s Runway 34R was temporarily closed.
This is not the first time RP-C7782 has experienced an in-flight emergency. On November 17, 2024, the same aircraft, operating as Philippine Airlines flight PR5117 from Vancouver to Manila, returned to Vancouver International Airport (YVR) after the crew detected a burning smell in the cabin. In that instance, a PAN PAN distress call was issued, and the aircraft safely landed after dumping fuel.
Philippine Airlines has not yet provided details on the cause of the latest incident but assured passengers that safety remains its top priority. Aviation authorities in Japan and the Philippines are expected to conduct further investigations into the event.
Passengers aboard PR102 were accommodated in Tokyo before continuing their journey to Los Angeles. No damage to the aircraft was reported.
