悉尼机场在四周内接连发生四起跑道安全事件,引发外界对空中交通管制安全的关注 12。最近一起事件发生在上周二上午8点后,当时两架飞机被允许同时使用同一条跑道 12。在此之前的8月9日,该机场在三小时内发生两起险情:7时20分,一架捷星空客A320与一辆被拖行的卡塔尔航空波音777在滑行道险些相撞,导致一名捷星乘务员受重伤 12;约10时,一架维珍澳洲波音737在开始起飞时,发现一架澳航波音737正在穿越前方跑道,维珍机组在空管取消起飞许可后停止起飞 12。此外,在7月27日,空管允许一架澳航波音737穿越跑道时,一架较小飞机仍在降落 12。
澳大利亚交通安全局2003至2025年的数据显示,商业航空跑道入侵的数量和发生率均呈显著上升趋势 12。具体而言,商业航空运输跑道入侵数量平均每两年增加约三起 12。同时,国内滑行碰撞或险些碰撞事故的数量和发生率也显著增加 12。数据显示,此类事故仅占所有国内航空事件的0.05% 12,但占国内航空事故的2.16% 1(另有来源表述为占滑行事件的2.16% 2)。自2003年以来,在记录的29起国内航空事故中,共有3起为滑行碰撞 12。
目前尚无法确定近期四起事件的具体原因,相关调查仍在进行中 12。调查将检视空中交通管制人员配备不足等潜在因素 1。Civil Air主席Scott Nugent指出,澳大利亚空中交通管制员存在人员不足的问题 12。他表示,悉尼机场严重依赖加班来维持运转,部分空管员每周加班时间超过20小时 12。
Sydney Airport has experienced four runway safety incidents within a four-week period, raising significant concerns regarding air traffic control safety 12. The most recent incident occurred after 8:00 a.m. last Tuesday when two aircraft were cleared to use the same runway simultaneously 12. On August 9, two separate events took place within a three-hour window 1. At 7:20 a.m., a Jetstar Airbus A320 nearly collided with a Qatar Airways Boeing 777 on a taxiway, resulting in serious injuries to a Jetstar flight attendant 12. The Qatar Airways aircraft was being towed at the time of the near-miss 2. Around 10:00 a.m., a Virgin Australia Boeing 737 began its takeoff roll while a Qantas Boeing 737 was crossing the runway ahead, forcing the Virgin crew to abort after air traffic control canceled their takeoff clearance 12. Additionally, on July 27, air traffic control cleared a Qantas Boeing 737 to cross a runway while a smaller aircraft was still landing 12.
While the exact causes of these recent events remain under investigation, authorities will examine factors such as air traffic control staffing shortages 12. Data from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau covering 2003 to 2025 reveals a significant upward trend in both the number and rate of commercial aviation runway incursions, with the quantity increasing by an average of about three incidents every two years 12. Furthermore, the frequency of domestic taxiway collisions and near-collisions has also risen markedly 12. Since 2003, three of the 29 recorded domestic aviation accidents have been taxiway collisions 12. Regarding the proportion of these incidents, domestic taxiway collisions and near-misses account for 2.16% of domestic aviation accidents 1 and represent 2.16% of taxiway events 2, while accidents themselves make up only 0.05% of all domestic aviation events 12. Highlighting potential systemic issues, Civil Air President Scott Nugent stated that Australia faces a shortage of air traffic controllers, with Sydney Airport heavily relying on overtime, leading some controllers to work over 20 hours of overtime per week 12.
