On 13 August, a UPS Airlines Boeing 747-8F (registration N613UP) arriving in Taipei from Hong Kong struck its number 4 engine on the runway during landing. The incident occurred as Typhoon Podul brought strong crosswinds and heavy rain to the region, creating challenging conditions for flight crews.
The right-most engine nacelle sustained visible damage after making contact with the runway. The freighter was able to complete its landing roll safely, and no injuries were reported.
Authorities are assessing the extent of the damage, and the aircraft is expected to remain grounded in Taipei for inspection and repairs.
