SAS - Air Lauda on collision course at Malpensa
SAS had to abort their T/O yesterday at Malpensa, due to an Air Lauda on the rwy !
Very few details in the paper.......? |
A few scattered information, but it sounds like is was due to ATC fault (the ATC Officer has been suspended).
It seemes that while the Lauda aicraft was crossing the runway (authorized to do so), the SAS aircraft aborted at about 20 kts (having been cleared for takeoff). No other info |
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... |

Don't jump to conclusions. Air Traffic Controllers are automatically suspended after any incident wherever the blame lies. |
Does this sound familiar?
a SK MD-87 crashed into a business jet during its take off roll at milan malpensa in 2001. |
I think you will find that was Linate?

Inner Vs Outer for landing
