Unfamiliar with the local area, plus night-time conditions, plus poor visibility, plus a bad case of “getthereitus”, it’s really not that surprising this happened. You only have to look on the maps to see all 3 airport runways run parallel to each other, if you’re making a visual approach and not looking to hard at your GPS I can see where the error occurred.

Hilarious! The pilot sounds very embarrassed when he announces he’s just landed at the wrong airport http://www.buzzfeed.com/passantino/massive-plane-mistakenly-lands-at-a-tiny-kansas-airport-and

Thankfully they managed to stop in the available landing space, otherwise this might not have been such a laughing matter.
