Flybe – Southampton – 2009
On 8 March 2009, a flybe plane taxied onto the same runway on which a Thai Airways Boeing was about to land. The Flybe plane stopped abruptly, the nose section already on the runway, as the captain saw the approach lights of the Boeing. It seems there was a misunderstanding between the Flybe crew and the airport authorities, and the Flybe plane should have been passed onto the tower frequency before entering taxiway.
