US EditionAir Canada jet involved in near-miss at New York airport: FAA
Both crews received collision alerts and landed safely after the American Airlines regional jet missed its approach, the FAA said.
- On Monday, a Republic Airways jet missed its approach at JFK International Airport, veering too close to an Air Canada Express flight cleared to land on a parallel runway, forcing both crews to take evasive action after receiving onboard collision alerts.
- The aviation industry faces ongoing challenges from a nationwide shortage of air traffic controllers, a staffing crisis exacerbated by periods when controllers worked without pay during government shutdowns across the United States.
- Data shows the two jets came within 250 feet vertically and 3,274 feet horizontally, narrowly avoiding collision. On Saturday, two Southwest Airlines planes took evasive action in Tennessee after an air traffic controller directed one pilot into the other's path.
- Jazz Aviation stated its crew "complied with the advisory and, consistent with our training and procedures, executed a go-around to land without further incident." Air Canada Express emphasized, "Safety is our top priority and our crews are well-trained to deal with many operational situations."
- These incidents occur following a fatal collision last month at LaGuardia Airport, where an Air Canada jet struck a fire truck, killing pilots Antoine Forest and Mackenzie Gunther. The National Transportation Safety Board and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada are investigating the crash.
