- On Sunday, Aug 9, a Jetstar flight narrowly avoided a collision with a Qatar Airways plane at Sydney Airport after pilots were forced to brake suddenly at 7am.
- The Jetstar pilot reported following Air Traffic Control instructions when encountering a Qatar Airways 777 that appeared to deviate from assigned taxiing procedures.
- During the sudden stop, one Jetstar cabin crew member sustained injuries and required assessment by paramedics, forcing the pilot to return the aircraft to the bay.
- This incident follows Airservices Australia's admission on Saturday that it is addressing rostering issues, which have impacted more than 150 flights amid ongoing runway delays.
- Jetstar has commenced an investigation into the near-miss, while Airservices Australia confirmed it will assist with safety reviews; Qatar Airways did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
