Narrative:
Ethiopian Airlines' flight ETH/ET673 from Tokyo/Narita, Japan to Seoul/Incheon, South Korea, a Boeing 787-8, mistakenly turned left instead of right when the airplane was entering taxiway K from S3 for departure from Narita. ET673 came face to face with another B787-8 with registration VH-VKB (c/n 36228/134), Jetstar JST/JQ10 from Tokyo/Narita, Japan to Brisbane, Australia, which was taxiing on K-TWY as ROUTE 2 for departure from runway 34L. Both B787s stopped taxiing with a few hundred meters of separation. ET673 was towed back to clear the intersection with S4-TWY, and JQ10 resumed taxi via S4, C, S and A-TWYs to reach runway 34L 27 minutes later. ET673 could taxi via S3, C, S and A-TWYs for runway 34L departure with another ten minutes of delay.
