"Continue For The Runway": Turkish Airlines A350 Enters Newark Runway Without Clearance

On Tuesday, September 26th, a Turkish Airlines Airbus A350 experienced an incident while attempting to enter Runway 22L at Newark Liberty International Airport. The aircraft, flight TK1794 from Istanbul, was cleared for takeoff but mistakenly proceeded onto the active runway without clearance. Air traffic controllers immediately issued a “call” indicating the situation and initiated standard operating procedures. This resulted in the plane stopping just short of the touchdown zone. Investigations are currently underway to determine the precise cause of this critical mix-up on the tarmac.
