Tower subsequently advised the crew a vehicle was still on the runway and instructed a go around. The aircraft went around from low height (less than 300 feet AGL), positioned for another approach and landed safely about 13 minutes after the go around.

Japan's TSB reported the occurrence is being investigated.

On Dec 21st 2023 the JTSB stated in a (Japanese) progress report, that an airport vehicle had been cleared onto runway 21R to perform a "barrier inspection". Thereafter the controller cleared the E175 to land because he as well as the ground controller forgot about the vehicle on the runway. The vehicle had been on the runway for about 40 minutes, with no radio communication. Multiple on-site training exercises were held at the same time weakening the system for mutually complementing operations.
