A Binter Canarias Avions de Transport Regional ATR-72-212A, registration EC-MNN performing flight
NT-207 from Fuerteventura,CI to Las Palmas,CI (Spain) with 68 passengers and 4 crew, was cleared to land on Las Palmas' runway 03R, an airport vehicle was operating on runway 03L. The driver of this vehicle queried tower, whether the aircraft on approach was landing on runway 03L, tower confirmed visually the aircraft was aiming for runway 03L and urged the driver to vacate the runway. The vehicle sped off the runway. The aircraft subsequently touched down on runway 03L.
On Apr 5th 2022 Spain's CIAIAC reported an investigation has been opened into the occurrence.
On Sep 2nd 2022 the CIAIAC released their final report in Spanish only (Editorial note: to serve the purpose of global prevention of the repeat of causes leading to an occurrence an additional timely release of all occurrence reports in the only world spanning aviation language English would be necessary, a Spanish only release does not achieve this purpose as set by ICAO annex 13 and just forces many aviators to waste much more time and effort each in trying to understand the circumstances leading to the occurrence. Aviators operating internationally are required to read/speak English besides their local language, investigators need to be able to read/write/speak English to communicate with their counterparts all around the globe).
The report concluded the probable cause of the incident was:
The controller did not adhere to the standard operating procedures by not actively listening to the erroneous readback by the aircraft.
