Narrative:Ethiopian Airlines flight ET-3891, a Boeing 737-804 (SF)(WL), landed at new Copperbelt International Airport which is under construction and located about 9nm WNW of the actual destination airport (Simon Mwansa).
Construction workers signaled to the crew they were not expected at that airport. The crew continued straight ahead towards the next taxiway to the runway, entered and backtracked the runway and departed again.
About 2.5 hours later, ET-AQP, another Ethiopian Airlines 737, performing flight ET-871, approached the Copperbelt International Airport but went around from 50 feet AGL.
