Japan's Fukuoka Airport and rumors of passenger aircraft listening to the wrong tower commands, the morning of the 10th, a Thai-Vietnamese Jet Airways passenger aircraft, suspected of listening to the wrong tower commands after landing, driving into a taxiway with no exit, resulting in the aircraft could not move, and finally sent a tractor-trailer rescue to get out of the trap smoothly.

The Boeing A321 of Thai Vietjet Air, a low-cost airline, was traveling from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport to Fukuoka when it landed at Kyushu's Fukuoka Airport at 8:45 a.m. The captain, for some reason, did not make a turn at the designated intersection and turned the plane into a one-way dead-end road, making it difficult for the plane to move forward and backward, and a tractor-trailer was sent out to the airport.

According to the Fukuoka Airport Office of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the flight's communication with the tower was normal, and it was concluded that the captain probably made a mistake in operation or misinterpreted the instructions given by ATC. The incident caused a 40-minute delay to the flight, but fortunately there were no injuries or fatalities, and the runway was not closed to other flights.
