A Jetstar A320 narrowly avoided colliding with a Boeing 777 on the tarmac at Sydney Airport, resulting in an injury to a cabin crew member.
A near-miss incident at Sydney Airport involved a Jetstar A320, which had to brake suddenly to avoid colliding with a Boeing 777 on the tarmac. Both aircraft came to a halt during the incident, leading to an injury among the cabin crew.
In response to the event, two airport workers were temporarily stood down. As reported, this measure follows concerns over the safety protocols at the airport.
Transport Minister Catherine King addressed the situation, stating that improved staff rostering will be implemented starting next month. This change aims to address ongoing delays and enhance overall operational safety at the airport.
The minister described the previous delays as 'unacceptable,' highlighting the importance of reliable staffing to prevent future incidents of this nature.
