- The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has launched an investigation into a fourth air traffic control incident at Sydney Airport in less than a month.

- The safety regulator confirmed there was no immediate risk of collision, but is examining potential common contributing factors across the recent incidents.
- Previous incidents over the past month involved runway near-misses and sudden braking by planes from Qantas, Jetstar, Qatar Airways, and Virgin Australia.
- The investigation follows reports from air traffic controllers expressing concern over inadequate training time for complex airspace changes introduced in July.
