Investigation of go-arounds, St Helena Airport, 17 June 2023

This statement provides an update on the AAIB investigation into a number of go-arounds flown at St Helena Airport on 17 June 2023 and subsequently. 

The AAIB has determined that these go-arounds did not constitute serious incidents, as defined, but that there are actions that may potentially improve the safety of operations by aircraft to the airport.  These include possible enhancements to runway marking, weather reporting and diversion procedures. 

The report, once complete, will be published by the AAIB.
