Flight Crew Took Evasive Action
Human Factors
While waiting to cross [the runway] behind an Airbus; ground keyed the mic and began to give the instruction to cross when suddenly a loud automated 'TAXIWAY' alert was heard in the background and the Controller told [the Airbus] to hold. Due to the odd transmission I looked up to see the navigation and landing lights of [a corporate jet] right over the tail of [the Airbus] suddenly pull up and fly right overhead. [The corporate jet] had appeared to have lined up to land on [the] taxiway.
The alert given by the taxiway arrival prediction system clued us in on a problem which was then verified by what we saw outside the cockpit. He was indeed lined up with [the taxiway].
EMB-145 flight crew reported that while holding short of the runway a corporate jet executed a missed approach after lining up with the taxiway.
