Another near miss over Switzerland?
There are rumors about another close encounter between Dutchbird and Alitalia over Switzerland recently. One of the a/c's had to make a dive while the other remained on course. Further rumors are about 6 more near misses the last 6 months. Can anyone confirm?

Where did you hear that? In the BLICK newspaper? If it is indeed the BLICK, then I am surprised that there have only been six. They usually sex up the numbers to several a day
Be that as it may, I am really curios and would love to know a little more about these supposed near-misses. Care to elaborate?

It happened on 17th of July in French airspace but controlled by Skyguide Geneva.
7 near misses are registered so far for Skyguide in 2004.
With the introduction of avoidance control system, many before unnoticed near misses are now reported

For near misses closer to home, venture towards the uncontrolled airspace to the East of CVT and you won't fail to be disappointed. Another close call yesterday betweeen an inbound Thom-Fly at 13:50 and an outbound light aircraft (poss training flight - approx 6nm out).
