Southwest Airlines suspended two pilots from flying earlier this month after their jetliner with 124 passengers landed at the wrong airport near Branson, Missouri, Reuters reported.
A Southwest captain, who has worked 15 years for the airline, and a first officer were removed from flying duties pending a federal investigation of the landing, said Michelle Agnew, a Southwest spokeswoman, the report added.
The Boeing 737-700 landed at M. Graham Clark Downtown Airport instead of at Branson Airport, the main commercial air strip near Branson, which has a much longer runway, Southwest said in a statement. The airports are about 7 miles apart, the report stated.
