Italian TV reported that this is the not the first incident of the type as last year another close encounter had occurred.

Apparently, the current procedures are prone to failure as it would be too easy to discount these as incidents solely attributed to the controllers on the day.

My opinion, only based on limited experience I have at this airfield, would be that it would be better to use 35L for landings and 35R for takeoffs as from reading other runway incursion incidents, it would seem that vacating landing aircraft are more prone to crossing a parallel active than those preparing for takeoff.

Just my 2 euro cents...
