China Airlines plane lands on wrong runway in Busan

A China Airlines flight landed on the wrong runway at Gimhae International Airport in Busan, South Korea yesterday evening.
The Taiwan Transportation Safety Board confirms that Taiwan's flag carrier voluntarily reported the incident, but because it occurred on South Korean soil, Korea has territorial jurisdiction under international investigation standards.
The TTSB has contacted its Korean counterpart to offer assistance with the investigation.
If Korea declines to open a case, the TTSB will take over and start its own inquiry.
China Airlines confirmed that one of its flights failed to follow air traffic control instructions in Busan and has launched an internal investigation.
The incident delayed China Airlines flight CI187's return from Busan to Taiwan to today due to the airport's curfew.
The airline said all passengers received accommodations and that a new cabin crew was assigned for the rescheduled flight.
