A plane accidentally landed at the wrong airport – one that was still under construction.
Ethiopian Airlines flight ET3891 was scheduled to fly from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe Airport in Ndola, Zambia, on Sunday 4 April.
However, the Boeing 737 aircraft instead landed at the as-yet-uncompleted Copperbelt International Airport, named after the country’s mineral-rich Copperbelt province, around 15 miles away.
Flight tracking information from FlightRadar24 shows the plane’s route to Copperbelt International Airport.
Video from the incident shared on aviation website
One Mile At A Time shows the cargo plane taxiing on the tarmac, surrounded by surprised construction workers.
