An All Nippon Airways (ANA) Boeing 787-8 operating a service from Tokyo to Ishigaki, Japan made a diversion to Okinawa after experiencing a technical issue on 10 September 2024.

The flight was established on final approach for RWY04 New Ishigaki Airport (ISG) when flight crew reported the technical issue.
The approach was then discontinued and flight crew entered a holding procedure to run troubleshooting checks after conducting a go around. Following a period of holding, the operating crew elected to divert the aircraft to Naha International Airport (OKA), Okinawa.
The decision was made on the basis that the flight crew could take advantage of a longer runway at the alternate airport. The flight subsequently landed safely at Naha International Airport, just over one hour after executing a missed approach at Ishigaki.

Following the missed approach at the destination, flight crew conducted holding procedures at 2000 feet. Having conducted troubleshooting checks, they initiated the diversion to the alternate airport of Naha (OKA).
