China's civil aviation regulator is investigating a dispute between Juneyao Airlines and Qatar Airways that started after the two carriers landed at the Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport.
A blog post on Weibo.com recently stated that the Chinese Juneyao airplane refused to give way to a Qatar airplane during landing despite the latter sending a "Mayday" signal.
"The investigation is conducted by the air safety management office after we received a report from the air traffic management bureau," said an official of the East China Regional Administration under the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
The investigation is based record data and inquiries on the two carriers as well as the air traffic management bureau, he told Shanghai Daily yesterday
Pilots' licenses can be suspended by between one to six months or even permanently revoked if they refuse to give way to an airplane that has already made "Mayday" calls, according to civil aviation rules.
Both Juneyao Airlines and Qatar admitted that the case was being probed but refused to give details before the aviation regulator announced its results.
"Weather, remainder of jet fuel, and instructions by the air traffic control department should all be probed to determine who will be responsible for the issue," said a Juneyao Airlines marketing manager, surnamed Sun.
