What happened
On November 27, 2024, at 10:03 local time, an Airbus A320-271N, registration SX-NET, was operating a scheduled commercial flight from Athens Eleftherios Venizelos (LGAV) to Geneva Airport (LSGG). The aircraft was operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) with a crew of two and 161 passengers on board.
During the approach to runway 22 at Geneva, the aircraft's vertical profile deviated significantly from the established glidepath. Specifically, the aircraft descended well below the required descent alignment. In response to this deviation, the flight crew 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 information focuses on the flight path deviation during the final approach phase. There were no injuries to the crew or passengers, and no damage was reported to the aircraft or ground infrastructure.
