An American Airlines Airbus A319-100, registration N9017P performing flight AA-2589 from Toronto,ON (Canada) to Miami,FL (USA), had been cleared by ground control to taxi to runway 06L, the instruction had been correctly read back. The aircraft was later handed off to tower, the crew reported they were taxiing to runway 06R (only runway 06L was in use at the time), tower however missed the incorrect runway and advised they had one aircraft landing prior to their departure. AA-2589 continued to taxi to runway 06R, crossed runway 06L without clearance and stopped short of the ILS hold short line, the aircraft thus still occupied runway 06L. Tower instructed the next approach to runway 06L to go around.

The Canadian TSB reported: "When queried on the radio, the flight crew of AAL2589 stated that they believed they were cleared to taxi to Runway 06R, and were holding short of the ILS hold line as the weather conditions warranted."

The landing traffic positioned for another approach and landed safely about 13 minutes after the go around, AA-2589 departed from runway 06L about 5 minutes after that go around.
