A serious runway incursion narrowly avoided disaster when a Gulf Air aircraft mistakenly taxied onto an active runway just as a Philippine Airlines jet was on final approach.
In this video, Captain Steeeve breaks down what happened, how air traffic control responded, why the approaching aircraft was ordered to go around, and what pilots are trained to do in moments like this. We’ll also talk about how runway incursions happen, why they remain one of aviation’s biggest safety concerns, and what layers of protection are in place to prevent the worst-case scenario.
This incident took place at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, one of the busiest airports in Southeast Asia — making the margin for error extremely small.
