http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/ ... 16-ON.htmlSwiss national airline said Friday that one of its aircraft came within 65 feet of a small plane during its approach to Brussels airport.
The smaller plane crossed in front of the Jumbolino, a four-engine commuter jet, 6,000 feet above the Belgian capital city on Monday, said Dominik Werner, a spokesman for Swiss International Air Lines.
The Swiss plane, which was en route from Zurich with 38 passengers and five crew on board, landed normally after the incident.
The pilot, who gave the estimate of how close the planes were, informed civil aviation authorities in Belgium and Switzerland, Werner said.
Swiss newspapers reported that the pilot of the ultralight had illegally entered Brussels airport airspace and that an investigation was under way.
