A Westjet Boeing 737-700, registration C-FWSK performing flight WS-16 (dep Aug 4th) from St. John's,NL (Canada) to Dublin (Ireland), was on approach to Dublin's runway 10, when the crew went around from about 1300 feet MSL due to a configuration problem.
Tower cancelled the takeoff clearance for the Airbus, the crew rejected takeoff at high speed (speed over ground above 84 knots). Tower subsequently apologized stating the arriving aircraft was 1.5nm out when they went around.
The Westjet Boeing climbed to 3000 feet and positioned for another approach to runway 10 completing the flight with a safe landing about 10 minutes later.
The crew of the Airbus decided to not join the departure queue immediately again but to have the brakes checked. The aircraft departed about 80 minutes after rejecting takeoff and reached London with a delay of 80 minutes.
