Seven people were hurt when a Qantas bus and a car had a near miss on the air side of Sydney Airport's Qantas domestic terminal today.
A Qantas spokesman said the bus was taking passengers from the international terminal to the airline's domestic terminal when the incident occurred about 8.30am.
The bus driver was forced to swerve to avoid hitting an official airport car.
A number of bus passengers were thrown forward from their seats on impact, a NSW Ambulance spokesman said.
Three people were treated on stretchers for neck pain. Another four sustained minor injuries but were able to walk, the spokesman said.
Six ambulance crews with 12 paramedics responded to the crash.
The injured passengers were being taken to the St George and Prince of Wales hospitals.
Most passengers were able to get off the bus unharmed, a Qantas spokesman said. The airline will investigate the incident.
