>Feb. 6 An Alitalia SpA plane and an aircraft operated for Deutsche Lufthansa AG came dangerously close to each other this morning on an airport runway in Dusseldorf, Germany, the country's DFS air-traffic control agency said.
The Italian plane's pilot confirmed air-traffic control instructions to stop his Embraer 145 plane yet still crossed the runway as an Avroliner B463, operated by Eurowings for Lufthansa, was taking off, DFS said in statements today. The German carrier's pilot managed to lift off and fly just above the other plane, DFS said.
The agency said it registered the ``runway incursion'' with Germany's aviation accident investigation office, which plans to examine the event as a ``severe disturbance.''
A spokesman for Rome-based Alitalia, who declined to be identified, said there was ``absolutely no danger,'' as the Italian pilot had waited for visual confirmation that the Lufthansa plane had passed. The Alitalia Express flight left Milan's Malpensa airport at 6:50 a.m. with 20 people on board, landing in Dusseldorf at 8:15 a.m.
``There was no near-collision because the Alitalia pilot didn't cross the runway until he'd seen that our plane had taken off,'' Heinz-Joachim Schoettes, a Eurowings spokesman, said.

>Unconfirmed second hand information indicates that the EMB145 crew somehow mistakenly thought that they were cleared to cross behind the departing BAe146. When the 146 passed in front and well above, they crossed the runway. At no time was seperation compromised, but as the EMB145 in fact crossed without ATC clearance this constituted, and was reported as, a runway incursion.
