Sydney Airport faces six near misses in one month
Sydney Airport has experienced six safety incidents in one month involving near misses between passenger planes on the tarmac. A former Qantas pilot explains these incidents are being caught and prevented through voluntary reporting systems, though experts suggest improvements are needed including unified radio frequencies for all ground operations. The incidents come as Western Sydney Airport prepares to open in October, raising questions about air traffic controller staffing and safety management across both facilities.
