Airports Authority confirms near-miss at Ben-Gurion Airport

By The Associated Press

A mid-air collision between Israeli and Spanish airliners at Ben-Gurion International Airport was averted before sundown Thursday, an Airports Authority official said.

An El Al plane was approaching the runway for landing when an Iberian Airlines plane suddenly turned into its path, Arieh Gilad told Channel 2 television.

He said the El Al airliner managed to avoid the other plane when they were around two kilometers apart, 20 seconds from a collision.
