A China Eastern Airlines Airbus A320-200, registration B-6928 performing flight MU-2005 from Nanchang to Nanning (China), was on a VOR/DME approach to Nanning's runway 05 and cleared to land on runway 05 but touched down on the parallel taxiway A left of the actual runway at about 10:45L (02:45Z). The aircraft rolled out without incident and taxied to the apron.

Aircraft and crew were grounded.

A replacement Airbus A320-200 registration B-6829 was dispatched to Nanning as flight MU-9003 and continued the next sector to Singapore (Singapore) reaching Singapore with a delay of 7.5 hours.
