Australia's aviation safety regulator, the ATSB, has launched an investigation into a fourth air traffic control incident at Sydney Airport within a month. The latest incident involved two Qantas aircraft nearly colliding due to a ground conflict at a taxiway intersection. The ATSB will review whether factors contributing to this incident are similar to three other incidents at the airport over the past month.

These incidents have raised concerns over air traffic control coordination and operational procedures at one of Australia's busiest airports. The investigation, expected to last six to eight weeks, will involve interviews with air traffic controllers and flight crew, as well as the collection of relevant data.
