FAA investigates incident that forced a Delta flight to abort landing
The crew of Delta flight 2351 followed air traffic control guidance and landed safely with 129 passengers after avoiding a departing American Airlines jet.
- Delta Air Lines Flight 2351 aborted its landing at Boston Logan International Airport on Saturday after American Airlines Flight 3161 began takeoff on an intersecting runway around 11:30 a.m.
- The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident after confirming both the Delta and American aircraft were cleared to use intersecting runways simultaneously, creating the potential conflict.
- Aboard the Delta flight carrying 129 passengers and six crew members, the crew executed an evasive go-around after onboard systems warned of "potential traffic" during descent.
- Michael McCormick, an associate professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, said go-arounds are "routine" and pilots practice the maneuver regularly in flight simulators despite feeling jarring to passengers.
- No injuries were reported from Saturday's incident, which joins a series of recent aviation close calls and go-around investigations that safety experts continue monitoring.
