Overview

• Late on September 21, an EasyJet A320 for Nantes was lined up on Nice’s runway 04R as a Nouvelair A320 from Tunis approached the same runway despite a landing clearance for 04L.
• ADS‑B data cited in reports indicate the Nouvelair jet crossed the 04R threshold around 50 feet above ground and initiated a go‑around roughly six seconds later.
• The EasyJet crew aborted takeoff, returned to the apron and canceled flight U24706 for the night, with passengers rebooked.
• BEA classified the event as a serious incident and sent a four‑person team to gather tower recordings, flight data and other evidence.
• Coverage notes night operations with storms and reduced visibility, and passenger reports describe loud noise, strong vibrations and a captain’s estimate of about three meters separation.
