Near misses at Doncaster / Robin Hood
Investigations are taking place into four near misses involving planes flying to Doncaster's Robin Hood Airport. One took place just twelve days after the airport opened.
Three of the near misses have taken place close to the airport and involved jets coming into land and light aircraft.
Two of those were within two weeks of the airport opening. In all of those the jets were taking air traffic control orders from Robin Hood.
The fourth incident took place above the skies of Derbyshire at around twenty thousand feet.
A jet heading for the airport was involved in a near miss with a military plane.
The civilian jet in that case was taking its air traffic control from Manchester.
All these incidents are now being investigated by the independent UK Airprox Board.
In a separate inquiry, Department of Transport officials are to examine cargo planes used by Ghana based Johnsons Air, which land at Robin Hood, after the airline was banned from landing in Belgium.
