Separation Error Reveals Crack in Aussie ATC

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is investigating  a separation error  between two Airbus A330s on March 30 in the far-northwest corner of the continent. While a spokesman for the AirServices Australia (the government-owned ATC service provider) said this represented the least severe type of separation error, an AIN source in the region said there’s more to the story.
