A Jade Cargo Boeing 747-400, registration B-2439 performing freight flight JI-7453 from Shanghai (China) to Istanbul Ataturk (Turkey), completed a seemingly uneventful flight being cleared for an ILS approach runway 36R but advised of glideslope unreliable and tower suggesting to use a LOC approach only and landing on runway 36R with no apparent problem. The airplane taxied to the apron."
