Australia’s transport safety chief has warned there are “a lot of stresses on the system” after a second near-miss at Sydney Airport in just weeks. He noted the challenges are being compounded by the introduction of a new airspace design and preparations for the opening of Western Sydney International Airport. The incident comes after air traffic control staffing issues caused widespread delays at Sydney Airport on Friday and Saturday. Australian Transport Safety Bureau Chief Commissioner Angus Mitchell said the near-miss at Sydney Airport had the potential to be far worse.
