Ryanair B738 and Jet2.com B738 at Malaga on Sep 17th 2014, loss of separation on runway

A Ryanair Boeing 737-800, registration EI-EBC performing flight FR-2446 from Leeds,EN (UK) to Malaga,SP (Spain) with 167 passengers and 6 crew, was on final approach to Malaga's runway 13.

A Jet2.com Boeing 737-800, registration G-GDFR performing flight LS-134 from Malaga,SP (Spain) to Glasgow,SC (UK) with 184 passengers and 6 crew, was departing runway 13 and was still in the departure roll when the Ryanair had almost reached the threshold of the runway prompting the crew to go around climbing out on runway heading, while the Jet2.com became airborne and also climbed out on runway heading.

Spain's CIAIAC reported on Oct 3rd 2014, that "the operations performed by each aircraft were hampered by being carried on the same runway heading" and a loss of separation occurred. The conflict was finally resolved when the Ryanair, climbing ahead of the Jet2.com, turned 90 degrees to the left and subsequently positioned for another approach to runway 13. The CIAIAC have opened an investigation into the occurrence.

The Ryanair Boeing landed safely about 18 minutes after going around, the Jet2.com Boeing continued to destination for a safe landing.

Radar data suggest the Ryanair overflew the Jet2.com aircraft with a vertical separation between 400 and 500 feet and no horizontal distance just after the Jet2.com became airborne.
