Astazi, un Airbus A330-300 (B-5958) Air China parcat la terminal pe aeroportul Beijing Capital a luat foc, incendiul izbucnind in partea din fata a compartimentului cargo.
Avionul venise din Singapore, zborul CA976, iar procesul de debarcare a pasagerilor avea loc in momentul izbucnirii incendiului. Din fericire, pasagerii si echipajul au fost evacuati la timp, astfel ca nu s-au inregistrat raniti sau victime. Livrat in decembrie 2014, Airbus-ul A330-300 (30 Business, 271 Economy) nu va mai zbura vreodata.
