A Cathay Pacific Boeing 777-300, registration B-HNE performing flight CX-918 from Manila (Philippines) to Hong Kong (China), was taxiing for departure from runway 06 via taxiway D onto taxiway C, when the crew did not turn 90 degrees onto taxiway C but followed high speed turnoff R2 and entered the runway. Tower instructed another flight on final approach to go around, CX-918 to stop and also instructed the next arrival to go around. CX-918 was subsequently cleared to enter the runway via R2 and to backtrack the runway to high speed turnoff R5 and onto taxiway C, the aircraft finally reached the hold short position and departed about 13 minutes after the runway incursion. The aircraft landed safely in Hong Kong on schedule.

The airline reported the crew made incorrect use of a taxiway during taxi for departure.
