Two Qantas flights at Sydney Airport were narrowly avoided from colliding Tuesday when air traffic control cleared them for conflicting ground paths — a Boeing 737 inbound from the Gold Coast and an Airbus A321 preparing for a Melbourne departure. The Airbus pilots spotted the incoming jet and braked just in time. This isn’t an isolated incident: the Australian Transport Safety Bureau is investigating multiple recent near-misses, including a runway incursion and rejected takeoff involving Virgin Australia and Qantas on August 9th, plus a “proximity event” between Jetstar and Qatar Airways on the same day. Controllers and flight crews are being interviewed, and all available data is being reviewed to prevent future disasters. Qantas has been contacted for comment as this story continues to unfold.
