Both crews heeded collision warnings and went around safely, and the FAA said the jets came within 350 feet vertically, according to FlightRadar24.
- Two commercial planes, Republic Airways flight 4464 and Jazz Aviation flight 554, nearly collided at John F. Kennedy International Airport on April 20, requiring evasive action by the pilots.
- Republic Airways flight 4464 performed a go-around after flying too close to Jazz Aviation flight 554, which was then cleared to land on a parallel runway.
- The planes came as close as half a mile apart horizontally and 350 feet vertically, triggering anti-collision alarms and air traffic controller warnings.
- The FAA and NTSB are investigating the incident, which followed a similar near collision involving Southwest flights at Nashville International Airport two days earlier.
