悉尼机场7月27日周一上午8点15分前发生一起航空近距离险情[1]。澳航一架从皇后镇飞来的波音737客机被空中交通管制部门清批穿过跑道,而另一架来自堪培拉的庞巴迪DHC-8客机正在该跑道上着陆滑行[1]。空管探测到冲突后及时通知两个机组,737客机在保持点停止,未造成人员伤害[1]。
澳大利亚运输安全局已将此事件列为严重事故进行调查[1]。澳航发言人表示,两架飞机都获得空管清批,将支持运输安全局的调查[1]。澳航服务公司发言人指出,该机构认可在某些地点(特别是悉尼)的韧性仍需提升[1]。
A serious aviation incident occurred at Sydney Airport on Monday, July 27, before 8:15 a.m., when air traffic control cleared a Qantas Boeing 737 aircraft to cross a runway while a Bombardier DHC-8 turboprop from Canberra was landing and taxiing on the same runway [1]. The 737 had arrived from Queenstown [1].
Air traffic control detected the conflict and promptly notified both flight crews, allowing the 737 to stop at a holding point before any collision took place [1]. No injuries were reported from the incident [1].
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has classified the event as a serious accident and launched an investigation [1]. A Qantas spokesman stated that both aircraft received clearance from air traffic control and indicated the airline would fully support the ATSB investigation [1]. A Qantas Services spokesperson acknowledged that resilience in certain locations, particularly Sydney, remains an area requiring improvement [1].
