‘Pilots were forced to brake firmly’: Jetstar, Qatar Air planes narrowly avoid collision at Sydney airport
[]
The Business Times
A Jetstar Airways plane was taxiing out from its bay at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport when another aircraft approached, the carrier said in a statement.
The other jet involved was a Qatar Airways plane, according to people familiar with the matter.
Flightradar24 data showed that the only Qatar Airways aircraft, a Boeing 777, at Sydney Airport at the time was one operated on behalf of Virgin Australia.
Qatar Airways did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Airservices Australia said it has enforced measures including departure spacing at the Sydney airport to “safely manage projected airborne and departure demands” following the incident.
