Korean Air Flight 631 was a scheduled international passenger flight operating from Incheon International Airport near Seoul, South Korea to Mactan–Cebu International Airport in Metro Cebu, Philippines. On 23 October 2022, the Airbus A330-300 operating this flight overran the runway while landing in Cebu due to a failure with the hydraulics system. Despite what reports described the accident as a "terrifying close call," all 173 passengers and crew members survived injury-free.^[1]

The aircraft was damaged beyond repair and written off as a result of the accident, and also resulted in the 14th hull loss of an Airbus A330 worldwide.^[2][3][4]

The accident resulted in the 17th Korean Air crash since 1970 that resulted in a total write off of aircraft^{[failed verification]} and the first since Korean Air Cargo Flight 8509 crashed in Great Hallingbury, United Kingdom, nearly 23 years prior.^[5]
