A JAL Japan Airlines Boeing 767-300, registration JA615J performing flight
JL-645 from Tokyo Haneda to Kagoshima (Japan) with 226 people on board, was climbing out of Haneda's runway 05 when the crew stopped the climb at FL200 due to suspected tyre damage after tyre debris had been found on runway 05. The aircraft positioned for a low approach to Haneda's runway 34R, which confirmed the two forward tyres of the main landing gear were damaged. The crew subsequently diverted to Tokyo's Narita Airport for a safe landing on runway 34L about 90 minutes after departure. The tyres were replaced on the runway, the aircraft was towed off the runway about 100 minutes after landing.
Haneda's runway 05 was closed for about 3:45 hours.
Japan's Ministry of Transport reported there were indications that a portion of the runway had peeled up requiring repair work. The Ministry is investigating whether the tyre damage is related.
