Hong Kong flag carrier Cathay Pacific Airways is investigating an incident in which one of its planes used a wrong taxiway in Manila, causing delays to two other flights, according to the airline.
The airline said on Thursday it was cooperating with relevant authorities in an investigation into the incident involving flight CX918 from Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport to Hong Kong on December 17.
“During taxi for departure, the aircraft made incorrect use of a taxiway,” a spokesman said.

As a precaution, the Manila Air Traffic Control asked two incoming planes to hold their landing to clear the way, he said.
The traffic control tower later cleared CX918 to enter the runway again and depart for Hong Kong.
