* September 1, 2017, Vision Airlines Flight 3015: Pilot error led to the wingtips of a Vision Boeing 737 to get within 100 meters of the wingtips of a Boeing 757. Due to poor visibility, the 757 did not initiate a go around and landed as usual, causing its wake turbulence to affect the 737. The 737 suffered a wingstrike on an attempted landing and had to go around then make a successful second landing. One minor injury was reported. This accident made it so that parallel landings may not be carried out at night, as directed by ATC. Later investigations revealed that external radio signal jamming was affecting the ILS' capability to communicate with the aircraft, which caused this incident. | * September 1, 2017, Vision Airlines Flight 3015: Pilot error led to the wingtips of a Vision Boeing 737 to get within 100 meters of the wingtips of a Boeing 757.

The driver of the vehicle sustained minor injuries and the back of the plane was severely damaged, causing bits of cargo to fall out. The plane underwent repairs at the airport and returned to service 3 months later. Investigations revealed that the driver was under the influence of alcohol and failed to stop the vehicle in time. This prompted more frequent drugs and alcohol testing amongst all of GIA staff. The driver's license was since revoked for 12 months. | ||
