Landing on the taxiway at Paphos: not so difficult
It's easier than you think to land on the parallel taxiway at Paphos, like a Thomson Airways Boeing 737
did recently when it had been cleared to land on runway 29.
Have a look at the picture. The taxiway is the same size as the runway. In fact it used to be the runway. But the factor that probably tips the psychological balance for the pilots is that the taxiway is not in the logical place.
