Civil Aviation investigating Family Island near-misses By LEANDRA ROLLE Tribune Chief Reporter lrolle@tribunemedia.net THE Bahamas Civil Aviation Authority has confirmed that internal investigations are underway into two near-miss incidents involving American Airlines aircrafts at Family Island airports last month and said appropriate action will be taken
if any violations or safety breaches are identified. The authority declined to comment on specific findings thus far, sauying premature disclosure could compromise the integrity of the probe or pre-empt its conclusions. Its comments followed The Tribune’s report on the February incidents, which prompted a formal safety warning from the
Aircraft Accident Investigation Authority to the CAAB. In the first incident, an American Airlines aircraft approaching Exuma on February 12 was forced to take evasive action to avoid a departing plane, according to a report cited by US federal regulators. PROBE - SEE PAGE THREE
