„Nu am mai văzut niciodată”. Situație fără precedent în aer: cum a evitat un controlor un posibil dezastru

A potential disaster was averted when an air traffic controller in Phoenix noticed two American Airlines flights sharing the same flight number. The controller quickly acted to ensure the planes maintained a safe distance. Audio recordings reveal the controller's strategy to differentiate the flights, one arriving from Chicago and the other departing for the same destination. The controller's prompt actions prevented a possible collision by keeping the arriving flight at a safe altitude. Both the FAA and American Airlines are investigating the incident, emphasizing the importance of vigilance in air traffic management.
