Southwest Airline Plane Avoids Near Collision With Private Jet
The incidents come as the FAA is investigating major air traffic accidents that have happened over the past few months.
A Southwest Airline plane and a private jet experienced a close call in Chicago Tuesday.
The near accident unfolded at Chicago’s Midway International Airport.
The private jet entered a runway without authorization and forced a Southwest Airlines plane to abort its landing.
The flight crew had to perform a go-around to prevent a potential collision.
In addition, around 90 minutes before this incident, an American Airlines flight was forced to cancel its landing at Reagan National in Washington D.C. to avoid a departing plane.
No injuries were reported from either incident but they come as the FAA is investigating major air traffic accidents that have happened over the past few months.
