The African champions were making a transit stop in the South African city on their way to Zimbabwe where they will face Highlanders club in the CAF Champions League round of 32.

The problem happened when the pilot of the Egyptian plane approached the airport to land when he found another jet taxiing toward the same runway for takeoff.

The pilot had to abort the landing and circle around until he got confirmation from an air-traffic controller to land again after the runway was cleared.

Fortunately, no one was hurt and Ahli’s contingent resumed their trip to Zimbabwe.
