What happened
On November 5, 2023, at approximately 09:55 local time, an Airbus A320 Neo, registered G-UZLO, was conducting a scheduled commercial flight from Edinburgh to Geneva. The aircraft, operated by Easyjet Airline Company United, was operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) with 157 passengers and a crew of six on board.
While performing the approach to runway 22 at Geneva Airport (LSGG), the flight crew noticed that the aircraft had descended significantly below the established glidepath alignment. In response to this deviation, the pilots initiated a go-around procedure to safely reconfigure the approach.
The investigation
The Swiss Transportation Safety Investigation Board (SUST) has opened an investigation into the incident. The preliminary inquiry focuses on the circumstances that led to the aircraft dropping below the descent alignment during the final approach phase.
