Like the 747 that landed at Jabara airport, a tiny corporate/general aviation airport.
- t0mas88 2y agoYes and some airport/approaches have a high enough risk that there is a warning. Düsseldorf for example has a box with something like "Don't confuse Essen airport X miles north-east when approaching runway 23" drawn on their approach as a caution. Because you're flying right over the top of that other airport, with the same runway direction.
