周四深夜，一名空管员的快速反应避免了一场险情：两架美国航空客机——一架正飞往凤凰城降落，另一架同时起飞——使用了相同的航班呼号和无线电频率。
这位资深空管员发现，从芝加哥飞来、即将降落在凤凰城天港国际机场的美国航空2482号航班，与另一架刚刚起飞前往芝加哥的航班使用了相同的呼号，且航线即将交汇。
发现问题后，这位资深空管员通过区分播报方式向飞行员发出指令，分别使用“美国航空2842号航班起飞”和“美国航空2482号航班降落”的呼号。
他成功让两架飞机保持了安全间距，最终双方均平安完成各自行程，未发生任何事故。
“我从事空管工作已有25年，”据空管网站ATC.com录制的调度音频显示，这名空管员对飞行员说道，“我从未见过两架飞机使用相同呼号险些相撞的情况。这太不可思议了。”
他随后补充道：“本来可能会酿成灾难性后果，但我很高兴一切顺利解决。”
美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）表示，两架飞机全程均保持了规定的安全间距。该局表示正在对这一事件展开调查。
美国航空向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，此次事件的导火索是从芝加哥奥黑尔国际机场起飞的航班延误。该航班本应降落在凤凰城，搭载新乘客后再以相同呼号返回芝加哥。
但由于航班延误，航空公司调派了另一架飞机执行该班次，以便让在凤凰城等候的乘客能够按时起飞。
美国航空在一份声明中表示，正在“对两架使用相同呼号的美国航空航班相关细节进行复盘”。
“空管员和我们飞行员的尽责与专业确保了全程始终保持规定安全间距，问题也被及时发现并处理，”该航空公司表示，“两架航班均平安抵达目的地，未发生任何事故。”

An air traffic controller’s quick thinking helped avert a dangerous situation late Thursday night when two American Airlines jets — one landing in Phoenix, Arizona, and the other simultaneously taking off — shared the same flight number and radio frequency.
The veteran air traffic controller realized that American Airlines Flight 2482 from Chicago that was coming in for landing at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport — and one that had just taken off and was headed for Chicago — were on converging flights and had the same call sign.
After catching the issue, the veteran air traffic controller began giving instructions to the pilots by differentiating their descriptions, using “American 2842 departing” and “American 2482 arriving.”
He was able to keep the aircraft separated, and both continued on their way without incident.
“I’ve been working air traffic for 25 years,” the air traffic controller told the pilots, according to dispatch audio recorded by ATC.com. “I’ve never seen two aircraft pretty much merge with the same call sign. That’s pretty incredible.”
He later added, “It could have been disastrous, but I’m glad it all worked out.”
The Federal Aviation Administration said the two planes maintained the required separation the entire time. The FAA said it is investigating the incident.
American Airlines told CBS News the situation was triggered because the flight arriving from Chicago O’Hare International Airport was delayed. That plane was supposed to land in Phoenix, take on new passengers, and then return to Chicago on the same callsign.
Because of the delay, however, a different aircraft was brought in so the waiting passengers in Phoenix could depart.
American Airlines said in a statement it was “reviewing the details related to two American flights with the same callsign.”
“The diligence and professionalism of air traffic controllers and our pilots ensured required separation was always maintained and the issue was identified and addressed,” the airline said. “Both flights continued safely and without incident.”
