An accident was averted at Ben-Gurion Airport on Thursday evening, after a forward air controller spotted an Air Berlin plane deviating from its takeoff runway and approaching an El Al place about to land.

The German plane was ordered to take a different path. The Israeli plane, which arrived from Athens, landed safely. The Transportation Ministry launched an investigation into the incident. (Yoav Zitun)
