Narrative:
I was on a part 135 cargo flight from ZZZ1 to ZZZ2 on an IFR flight plan. I was about 10 NM from ZZZ2. I turned on the lights at ZZZ2 and I lined up for runway xx. I then dropped my IFR flight in the air. It was hazy. I saw just 1 airport so I landed. But I landed at ZZZ on runway xx. I then turned off on a taxiway. I called the tower. They said just to stay there on the taxiway. I then shut the plane down. There were no airplanes flying at ZZZ at the time. It was hazy. I never saw ZZZ2. I should have looked at the GPS or the HSI when I was 3 NM out.
