On January 17, 2017, CAT II operations were taking place at EPGD Airport from approximately 16:00 UTC. At 18:42 UTC, the pilot of the landing Boeing 737-800 OK-TVX performing flight TVS7337 between Las Palmas/Gran Canaria [GCLP] and Gdansk [EPGD] reported going around due to insufficient visibility (in the touchdown zone of 275 m).
He established communication with Approach Gdansk and informed of his decision to depart for an alternate airport to Poznan [EPPO]. Then, after finding insufficient remaining fuel, he changed this decision - TWR EPGD was informed by Approach Gdansk at 18:55 UTC that flight TVS7337 reported a "minimum fuel" status and wanted to land in Gdansk.
At 19:00 UTC, Zblizanie Gdansk informed TWR EPGD that the pilot of flight TVS7337 had reported an EMERGENCY condition, with 136 people on board and 2 tons of fuel.
It was preliminarily coordinated with the airport Gdynia-Oksywie/Babie Doly [EPOK] (where meteorological conditions were much better than at EPGD: visibility over 10 km, clouds sct 2600 ft) the possibility of a possible landing of flight TVS7337. The aircraft landed at EPGD at 19:06 UTC and taxied to the designated position without problems.
Cause of the aviation incident: The most likely cause of the incident was an incorrect calculation of the fuel supply. Circumstances conducive to the occurrence of the incident: Difficult meteorological conditions in the area of the destination airport EPGD.
