Communications between Air Canada flight AC759 and San Francisco air traffic control have been released.
The plane came within 30m (98ft) of other aircraft as it prepared to land in a near-miss on 7 July.
The audio reveals that air traffic control cleared the pilot to land on runway 28-R.
However, the pilot began descending onto Taxiway-C, where four planes were waiting to take off.
The pilot of one of those aircraft can be heard asking air traffic control, "Where`s this guy going?".
An investigation into the incident by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is ongoing.
