Two Volaris Aircraft Almost Collide At Mexico City Airport After Incorrect ATC Clearance
Two Volaris aircraft encountered a near miss at Mexico City International Airport after the air traffic controller improperly cleared the arriving aircraft for landing. (www.gatechecked.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Totally agree
It's MEXICO. The only thing surprising here is that people aren't killed at this airport everyday.
Good grief! Could you see Harrison Ford landing there? If they don't get some controllers in that tower that know their asspirins from a hold in the ground someone is going to have a serious and deadly accident.
An old yarn: it's a "near hit," not a "near miss."

I see that Mexico City has two closely spaced parallel runways. Perhaps the controller meant to use one runway for departure and the other for landing. He might have said the wrong runway number by mistake. The arriving aircraft did the right thing by going around.
