White smoke was seen coming from the left engine of a Singapore Airlines plane as it arrived at Narita airport near Tokyo on Monday but no one was injured, according to a report received by firefighters. The problem on Flight 638 led to the closure of Runway B at the airport for about 50 minutes from around 7:40 a.m. so that the aircraft could be towed away, airport operator Narita International Airport Corp. said.
