Alaska Airlines flight AS196, a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 airplane, N935AS, sustained substantial damage during an on-ground collision with a McDonnell Douglas MD-11, B-16106, at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, Anchorage, Alaska. The MD-11 was not damaged. The two airplanes collided after the MD-82 had been pushed back from the gate area, and while the MD-11 was taxiing to parking.
The MD-11's flight was being conducted as a cargo flight, operated as Flight 632, by Eva Air. The MD-11's flight originated at the Chiang Kai-shek International Airport, Taipei, Taiwan.
Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed, and heavy snow showers with reduced visibility were reported at the time of the accident.
Probable Cause: The failure of the flight crew of the other airplane (MD-11) to maintain clearance while taxiing and the MD-82 ground-marshaling personnel's failure to follow procedures/directives when they did not display an emergency stop signal to the flight crew of the other airplane. Factors contributing to the accident were heavy snow showers and snow-covered terrain.
