A passenger plane burst into flames on the runway at Haneda airport in Tokyo, with local news reports saying it hit another aircraft after landing.
Japan Airlines said all 367 passengers and 12 crew members on board were evacuated from the plane.
Five of the six crew of the coast guard aircraft have died, NHK reported. A coast guard spokesperson earlier said five people were unaccounted for but that the captain had escaped. It confirmed it was investigating the collision.
The coast guard said the plane was on its way to Niigata Airport to deliver aid to the earthquake-hit Noto peninsula.
