Air China Flight 183 was a scheduled International flight operated by Air China from Beijing to Tokyo. On August 27, 2019, the Airbus A330-343X operating the route caught fire and was damaged beyond repair resulting in a Hull loss at the gate as it was boarding, with no injuries or fatalities occuring.[1] The flight previously arrived as CA-976 from Singapore 2 hours before the accident. Emergency responders then reacted by extinguishing a fire in the cargo hold.

The Incident is under investigation by the Civil Aviation Administration of China. It is unknown right now if they had finished the investigation. But it was said that the smoke started in the cargo hold of the Aircraft.

Accident[edit]

At 16:00, as people were boarding the Aircraft, the ECAM system on the Airbus displayed SMOKE/FWD CARGO SMOKE in the cockpit. The crew then issued a Mayday Call after smoke was detected in the cargo hold and issued a rapid disembarkation of the Aircraft. As the Emergency Developed, nobody was on board.[2] The crown was shown severely burnt in social media posts.

Aircraft[edit]

According to social media posts on the internet[2], the aircraft was a 2014-built Airbus A330-343X with registration B-5958 on the tail. It was also powered by 2 Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines.[1]
