3 November 1994: Air Liberté Tunisie Flight 930, a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (F-GHED) operating a charter flight from Monastir, Tunisia to Kajaani, Finland, veered off the runway at Kajaani Airport. The pilots landed after inadvertently selecting the TO/GA buttons, which set the autothrottle to full power, causing the aircraft touched down overspeed, nose-first, and around 600 meters past the touchdown zone. The throttle setting meant the reverse thrust and spoilers were not deployed, and the heavy breaking applied by the pilots damaged the gear and destroyed the left wheel brakes. The aircraft turned 140 degrees and skidded off the right of the runway, coming to rest in the grass with the left gear collapsed. All passengers were evacuated. The aircraft was repaired and eventually returned to Air Liberté, where it was involved in the 2000 Charles de Gaulle runway collision.
21 September 2025: Nouvelair flight BJ586, an Airbus A320-214 (TS-INP) flying from Tunis, Tunisia to Nice, France, at approximately 21:32 UTC had attempted to land on runway 04R at Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport, while EasyJet flight U24706, another Airbus A320-214, was lined up on the same runway awaiting takeoff clearance. The captain of the EasyJet flight reportedly stated to the passengers that the Nouvelair flight had overflown the Easyjet A320 by 3 metres (ADS-B data reported a value of 50 ft with a margin of 25 ft; 50 ft ±25 ft). The Nouvelair flight performed a go-around and landed safely on runway 04L, 16 minutes later. The EasyJet flight had decided not to continue the flight and returned to the gate shortly after, with the flight subsequently cancelled. The METAR at Nice indicated the presence of thunderstorms in the vicinity of the airfield at the time of the incident. The French BEA has opened an investigation, classifying this as a serious incident.
