Circumstances of the Event
After pushback, the crew received clearance to taxi to B3 and hold short of runway 08. Due to construction on taxiways, the taxi route deviated from standard; this information was included in the airport's AIP and NOTAM, which the crew had reviewed before the flight. After taxiing onto B3, the aircraft stopped beyond the holding line with the nose wheel over the line. At that moment, an aircraft on final approach received a go-around instruction from air traffic control. Subsequently, the holding aircraft was cleared to occupy the runway, vacate via taxiway B2, and stop again before the holding point on taxiway B0. After the arriving aircraft landed, the holding aircraft received clearance to take off. The controller did not inform the crew of the reasons for the go-around or issue a warning regarding the holding line infringement.
A few days later, the operator's safety department received a request for explanation from the airport authority. According to the crew's statement, the cause of the event was the monitoring pilot's distraction from the taxi path and insufficient attention from the captain.
