Munich airport is dealing with another incident on the same runway. Lufthansa's Airbus A380 landed too early on Monday, August 17 in the evening, missed the beginning of the runway and damaged its edge lighting. There were 351 passengers on board. ta3.com ↗
The incident came shortly after a previous serious incident on the same runway. On Saturday, a Vietnam Airlines Boeing Dreamliner encountered a situation during landing that authorities describe as a near-accident. Two cases within two days therefore raised questions about operating conditions at Munich airport. hnonline.sk ↗
In Monday's incident, attention is focused on why the aircraft landed before the designated part of the runway. The so-called landing light signalization on its edge was damaged. Available information does not indicate that any injuries to passengers or crew were reported.
The investigation concerns both events. The relevant authorities are examining the circumstances of the incidents, and in the case of the previous near-accident, flight data recorders are also being reviewed. Further developments will depend on the results of technical analysis and whether investigators find a common factor between the two events on the same runway.
