An Easyjet Europe Airbus A320-200, registration OE-IJR performing flight U2-7272 from Basel/Mulhouse (Switzerland/France) to Palma Mallorca,SP (Spain), lined up Basel's runway 15 at 10:09L (08:09Z). The aircraft commenced takeoff at 10:11L (08:11Z) but needed to reject takeoff at high speed (about 112 knots over ground).
When OE-IJR crossed the hold short line to line up the runway, an arriving Easyjet Airbus A320-200, registration HB-JYA performing flight U2-1212 from Budapest (Hungary) to Basel/Mulhouse (Switzerland/France), was on final approach to Basel's runway 15 about 6nm before the runway threshold descending through 1940 feet AGL. When OE-IJR began to accelerate HB-JYA was about 1nm ahead of the runway threshold descending through about 370 feet AGL, shortly afterwards the crew initiated a go around at about 350 feet AGL. OE-IJR rejected takeoff about 5 seconds later.
The airline reported the captain of OE-IJR performed a routine takeoff procedure, however, needed to reject takeoff on ATC instruction and returned to the apron.
Passengers of OE-IJR reported their crew told them they needed to reject takeoff due to an arriving aircraft that came too close. Their aircraft was able to depart later and reached Palma with a delay of about one hour.
OE-IJR returned to the hold short line and departed runway 15 about 25 minutes after the rejected takeoff and reached Palma with a delay of about 30 minutes.
