Two Qantas passenger planes came within metres of colliding on the runway at Sydney Airport on July 27, when one aircraft was cleared to taxi across the runway as another was landing. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is investigating the near miss, examining fatigue levels among air traffic controllers at the Sydney control tower who have reported varying levels of exhaustion. Air Services Australia is facing criticism over ongoing staffing issues that have caused widespread flight delays and cancellations, with airline groups reporting more than 60 flight disruptions in a single day.
