Two Boeing 737-800s operated by Jet2 and TUI Airways came unusually close during approach to Antalya Airport in Turkey on 17 August, with the TUI aircraft’s collision-avoidance system triggering a traffic alert followed by a resolution advisory. Both flights landed safely after the aircraft separated again.
The aircraft involved were Jet2 flight LS291 from Leeds and TUI Airways flight BY574 from Manchester. Tracking data cited in coverage put the closest vertical separation at about 500 feet, or roughly 150 metres, during the approach phase. The event unfolded in a busy holiday corridor into Antalya, where summer traffic regularly places heavy demand on sequencing and spacing.
A follow-up report published on 18 August independently confirmed the same encounter and separation estimate. No official investigation statement or authority confirmation was cited in the available coverage, and comments from Jet2 and Turkish air traffic control were still unavailable at the time of the latest report.
