SFO copycat incident

"A Nouvelair Airbus A320-200, registration TS-INP performing flight BJ-586 from Tunis (Tunisia) to Nice (France), was on approach to Nice's runway 04L but lined up for runway 04R. The aircraft continued the approach reaching the lowest point over the touch down zone of the runway before commencing a go around.

An Easyjet Europe Airbus A320-200, registration OE-IJZ performing flight U2-4706 from Nice to Nantes (France), was lining up runway 04R when TS-INP overflew OE-IJZ before initiating their go around.

OE-IJZ subsequently vacated the runway via the next exit and returned to the apron, the flight was cancelled.

TS-INP climbed to 4000 feet, positioned for another approach to runway 04L and landed on that runway without further incident about 15 minutes after the go around.

According to ADS-B data TS-INP crossed the runway threshold at 50 feet AGL and initiated the go around 6 seconds later.

On Sep 22nd 2025 the French BEA announced, they have dispatched 4 investigators to Nice and opened an investigation."

TL;DR "Captain came on the PA, in shock, and cancelled the flight, because the near-miss was about 3m"
