Anniversary Statement: Airbus A320, G-EJCI, 30 July 2023
Takeoff from the incorrect intersection, Toulouse Blagnac Airport, France, 30 July 2023
The crew planned to take off from Runway 32, Intersection N2 and completed their performance calculations from this intersection. During the taxi to the runway, ATC cleared the aircraft to takeoff from N2 but the aircraft entered the runway via N4 thereby reducing the takeoff run available by 500 m and invalidating the performance calculation.
The investigation into this event is complete and a final report will be issued in due course.
