The Airbus A350-941 had completed flight AY62 from Tokyo Haneda Airport to Helsinki Airport in Finland. After the passengers disembarked, the ground crew began preparing for the next flight of this aircraft. During this process, the tow truck was preparing to move the plane from the boarding gate to a distant parking spot, but did not notice that there was a garbage truck behind the plane and ground crew were still cleaning the plane's restroom. When the plane was towed, a ground crew member was caught between the plane and the garbage truck and unfortunately died. Finnair has confirmed that the aircraft is currently undergoing maintenance.
