Narrative:An Airbus A320, registration A6-EIC, operated by Etihad Airways as flight ETD11D from Abu Dhabi International Airport (OMAA) to King Fahd International Airport (OEDF) in Dammam was approaching runway 34R. At about 3 NM to the runway, an Airbus A320, registration VP-CGW, operated by Saudi Gulf Airlines (SGQ303) from King Fahd International Airport (OEDF) to King Abdul-Aziz International Airport (OEJN) in Jeddah crossed the runway (RWY 34R) without clearance. The Tower control noticed the runway crossing. At 14:27, the controller received a confirmation that SGQ303 had cleared the runway. ETD11D continued the approach and landed safely.
The investigation concluded that the causal factor to this incident is attributed to SGQ303 flight crew misinterpretation of taxi and hold instruction.
The investigation also identified some other contributing factors related to non-standard phraseology and runway stop bar lightings intensity and misalignment.
