Errors by air traffic controllers in the vicinity of airports as well as incidents in which there was an unauthorized plane, vehicle, or person on a runway have increased sharply, according to a US watchdog report.
Mistakes by controllers at radar facilities within 50 kilometers of an airport that cause planes to fly too close together nearly doubled over three years ending in March, the Government Accountability Office report said.
Runway incursions increased from 11 incidents per million takeoffs and landings in the 2004 federal budget year to 18 per million takeoffs and landings in the 2010 federal budget year.
