FAA investigates incident that forced Delta flight to abort landing
The Federal Aviation Administration is currently investigating a near miss incident that occurred on Saturday morning at Boston Logan International Airport. The incident involved two commercial flights that were in danger of colliding, prompting the Delta Air Lines flight from Dallas to execute a go-around to avoid an American Airlines plane that was departing from an intersecting runway.
According to flight logs and the FAA, the crew of Delta flight 2351 coordinated with air traffic control to perform the go-around maneuver. The plane, which was carrying 129 passengers and six crew members, landed safely after the incident and deplaned without any further issues, as reported by an airline spokesperson. Both American Airlines and the airport have deferred all comments and inquiries to the FAA as the investigation continues.
Go-arounds are standard safety procedures that can be initiated by either the pilot or air traffic controllers when necessary, ensuring the safety of all passengers and crew on board. This incident comes in the wake of several recent aviation accidents, including the tragic plane crash in France that claimed the life of a gaming company founder, as well as a business jet crash in Texas that resulted in one fatality.
Additionally, a B-52 aircraft crashed during a test flight in California, resulting in the loss of all eight individuals on board. Furthermore, a plane carrying skydivers in Missouri crashed, resulting in the tragic deaths of 12 individuals. These recent incidents highlight the importance of aviation safety measures and the need for continuous vigilance in ensuring the well-being of all individuals involved in air travel.
Stay tuned for further updates as the FAA continues its investigation into the close call incident at Boston Logan International Airport.
