Virgin plane aborts take-off as Qantas plane crosses Sydney runway
Investigators are probing the third safety incident at Sydney Airport in less than three weeks after a Virgin plane was forced to abort take-off when it discovered a Qantas plane on its runway.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau said it is investigating a runway incursion and rejected take-off of Virgin Australia flight VA555 from Sydney to Perth and Qantas flight QF728 from Sydney to Ayers Rock Airport.
The incident, which occurred shortly after 10am on August 9, involved two Boeing 737s. Air traffic control cleared the Virgin Australia 737 “for a full-length take-off” on runway 34L, the ATSB said.
“As the crew applied thrust for take-off, they observed the Qantas 737 begin to cross the runway ahead of them from taxiway Lima.”
