A Brussels Airlines Airbus A320-200, registration OO-SNE performing flight SN-3634 from Paris Charles de Gaulle (France) to Brussels (Belgium), departed runway 26R, stopped the climb at 2300 feet and was turned north before the aircraft continued the climb.
On Oct 30th 2020 the French BEA reported they rated the occurrence a serious incident involving the risk of a collision in mid flight and opened an investigation (no minimum separation was reported so far by the BEA). The BEA stated with respect to the E170: "Following a windshear warning, they interrupted the approach. The aircraft's path deviated to the right causing an abnormal approximation with another aircraft taking off on runway 26R."
According to Mode-S Data transmitted by both aircraft the Embraer did not transmit position data, based on time differences of arrival of their transponder transmissions at at least 3 receivers (MLAT) a position estimate with a possible deviation of several hundred meters suggests the aircraft was well established and on center line on the final approach to runway 26L descending through 1100 feet MSL descending at about 700 fpm and 134 knots over ground. A minute later the aircraft is shown to the right of runway 26R however, having crossed the extended center line of runway 26R a first time before the runway threshold, turning parallel to the runways, overflying the terminals at about 1900 feet MSL still at 134 knots over ground before initiating a steep climb trading speed for altitude (speed over ground decreased by 21 knots from 134 knots to 113 knots over ground) and turning to the left to the south crossing the departure path of runway 26R at about 3600 feet MSL almost exactly overflying the A320 at 2300 feet.
The transponder of the A320 transmitted position data showing the aircraft was exactly over the extended center line of runway 26R when they stopped the climb at 2300 feet and turned north, just as the Embraer, based on the positions estimated by MLAT crossed the extended center line of runway 26R a second time, this time at 3600 feet MSL almost on top of the A320.
