China Eastern Airlines Flight 5398
On 26 October 1993, a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 airliner flying this route crashed on approach to Fuzhou Yixu Airport.The crew began the approach despite the poor visibility, resulting in a severe deviation to the right of the runway.The crew did not abort the landing and initiate a go-around, but tried to correct the course while continuing to descend.[2] Later investigation revealed that the crew of Flight MU5398 violated the approaching protocol at Fuzhou airport, and did not cooperate well with the air traffic controller.Due to the runway length and the increasing air traffic, a new civilian airport was proposed in 1991.
