On the evening of August 20, there was a problem at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan, when a Turkish Airlines aircraft deviated from its correct flight path during landing and descent and attempted to head toward a different runway than instructed by air traffic controllers. Another airliner was attempting to land on this runway first, and the Turkish Airlines aircraft made a "go-around" after being pointed out by air traffic controllers. On March 22, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism (MLIT) requested the company to report the details of the incident and prevent recurrence.According to MLIT officials, at around 7:15 p.m. on January 20, Turkish Airlines Flight 198 from Istanbul to Haneda descended from the east over Tokyo Bay to land on Runway B, as instructed by air traffic controllers.

　The aircraft was descending to an altitude of about 300 meters, and the air traffic controller, who immediately noticed the error, advised the aircraft to climb back up for a new landing. The pilot visually confirmed the error and the aircraft landed safely about 25 minutes later.

　When the pilot visually checked the runway, it is believed that the runway was mistaken.

　In September of last year, a Turkish airliner deviated from the correct route immediately after departing Haneda Airport and flew over the center of Tokyo, including the vicinity of Tokyo Tower.
