Two incidences in India I know of. One was the Saudia Classic
mentioned at the start of the thread which landed at the Airforce base at nearby Tambaram instead of the Madras Civil Airport.

The second less well known one was one of the inaugral flights of the Indian Domestic Operator, Jet Airways (9W) landing at the
airforce field at Coimbatore in South India instead of the adjacent civilian field.The aircraft was a 737 300 operating from BOM.
Jet had quite a few VIPs assembled to greet the inaugral flight and I guess neither them nor the airforce folks were very amused with this attention catching event!This happened if I remember correctly, the day the then new carrier started operations in India.
