An Easyjet Airbus A320-200N, registration G-UZHV performing flight
U2-2271 from London Luton,EN (UK) to Palma Mallorca,SP (Spain), was on approach to Palma Mallorca maintaining 3000 feet about 14nm southwest of Palma Mallorca over the Bay of Palma.
A Go2Sky Boeing 737-800 on behalf of Corendon Airlines, registration OM-GTF performing flight XR-2222 from Hanover (Germany) to Palma Mallorca,SP (Spain) was on approach to Palma Mallorca about 14nm southwest of Palma Mallorca over the Bay of Palma.
With both aircraft maintaining 3000 feet MSL the horizontal distance between the aircraft reduced to 1.5nm on converging flight tracks at 07:25:07Z according to ADS-B data, TCAS issued resolution advisories prompting the Easyjet to climb to 4000 feet and the Go2Sky to descend to 2000 feet.
After being clear of conflict the Boeing continued for a safe landing on Palma's runway 06L, the Airbus in the meantime climbed up to FL080 and landed on Palma's runway 24L about 25 minutes after the TCAS resolution.
A Listener on frequency reported the crews of OM-GTF and G-UZHV reported TCAS resolutions while over the Bay of Palma.
The captain of the Go2Sky Boeing told The Aviation Herald, that there was a TCAS Traffic Advisory, however, no Resolution Advisory, instead ATC corrected the loss of separation, when the Easyjet turned off the localizer unexpectedly possibly due to thunderstorms in the approach path to runways 24 and thus in the missed approach path and 24 knots tailwind at the final approach fix runway 06. The Boeing was instructed to turn onto a heading of 259 degrees and to descend to 2000 feet, the Airbus was instructed to climb to 4000 feet.
