悉尼机场发生第三起飞机近距离接近事件，一架获准起飞的飞机进入了正在滑行的另一架飞机的路径[1]。调查人员正对此事进行调查[1]。
根据一位拥有丰富飞行经验的机长介绍，最近几周内悉尼机场连续发生三起近距离事件[2]。其中包括维珍737机师发现澳航737跨越其获批起飞的跑道[2]，以及卡塔尔777与被拖曳的捷星A320险些碰撞[2]。这位机长指出，悉尼机场的地面航行监测系统不如洛杉矶等地完善[2]。他建议航空安全局应调查完善地面碰撞预防系统，以协助人手不足的空中交通管制员[2]。
Authorities are investigating a third near-miss incident at Sydney Airport, in which an aircraft cleared for takeoff entered the taxiway path of another aircraft already in motion [1]. The recurring incidents have prompted scrutiny of the airport's ground traffic management systems.
According to a pilot with over 1,000 flight experiences into and out of Sydney Airport, three near-miss events have occurred within recent weeks [2]. The first involved a Virgin 737 pilot discovering a Qantas 737 crossing the runway on which the Virgin aircraft had been approved to depart [2]. A second incident saw a Qatar 777 come close to a Jetstar A320 that was being towed [2]. The pilot noted that Sydney Airport's ground collision warning systems lag behind those at major international hubs such as Los Angeles, and called for the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to investigate improvements to ground collision prevention systems to better support air traffic controllers who are already stretched thin [2].
