These go arounds happen quite frequently to all airlines. Apparently some airports are more prone given their design.
Back in December 2024, my CX flight did it at HKT and the pilot did not give any explanation.

As QRC3288 mentions, aborted takeoffs are much less common.
My only one was many, many years ago on AF at SFO (where t60 landed). Dianne Feinstein (former Mayor and US senator) was seating in the same row and she never stopped smiling while I was quite worried. Apparently a plane was mistakenly nearing the runway..We took off a few minutes later
