The Jetstar Airbus A320-232 was on approach to Sunshine Coast Airport on Friday afternoon and the Beechcraft Aviation Australia was on the runway. A witness said the two planes were only about 30 seconds apart and the near-miss would have been a very serious accident.

'This was very close to a major accident. Someone stuffed up major,' licenced pilot Graeme Shelley who saw the near-miss told the Sunshine Coast Daily. 'The Jetstar pilot did the right thing but there would not have been a lot of separation. Something has been missed. This should not have happened.' It was not yet clear how the near-miss occurred.
