American Airlines flight AA2406, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 (N338ST), and Delta Air Lines flight DL1163, an Airbus A220-300 (N311DU), were involved in an airprox incident at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, MN (MSP).
AA2406 was approaching runway 30L and was told by the Tower controller to expect clearance to land on a two mile final.
At the same time Sun Country flight 261 was instructed by the controller to taxi down the runway and vacate via A3 on the right-hand side. DL1163 was then cleared to taxi into position and subsequently received clearance for takeoff after SCX261 had vacated the runway.
AA2406 was then instructed by the Tower controller to go-around: "American 24-06- go around right side runway 3-0 Left". This was read back as "24-06 on the go".
AA2406 then deviated to the left, instead of the right as instructed by the Tower controller, and overflew the parallel taxiway, overtaking DL1163.
Minneapolis Tower then instructed DL1163 to turn (left) to a heading of 260, which made it cross the path of AA2406 that was flying on the left. The controller then stated to AA2406 that he had told them to fly right and then issued a clearance for a heading of 280.
AA2406 circled and landed safely after a second approach. DL1163 continued to the destination.
Minimum separation according to ADS-B data was roughly 100 m vertical and 130 m horizontally.
