Overview

• Nouvelair flight 586 from Tunis initiated a go‑around late on September 21 when an EasyJet A320 was on a runway at Nice, avoiding a collision.
• The EasyJet service to Nantes was canceled, passengers were returned to the terminal or rebooked, and the Nouvelair aircraft landed safely minutes later.
• France’s BEA dispatched a team to Nice to secure flight‑data and cockpit‑voice recorders and to interview both flight crews and air traffic controllers.
• Airport officials confirmed the incident and flight numbers, while the official cause remains under investigation.
• Media reports cite unverified details such as a roughly three‑meter separation, possible wrong‑runway alignment, adverse weather, and Flightradar24 data showing a go‑around initiated about six seconds after passing the threshold at around 50 feet.
