Near-Collision at Boston Logan Sparks FAA Safety Probe
Summary
Aircraft Boston Massachusetts in Boston, Massachusetts: A near-collision occurred at Boston Logan International Airport on Saturday morning when Delta Air Lines Flight 2351, an Airbus A319 arriving from Dallas with 129 passengers and six crew members, was forced into a dramatic go-around to avoid an American Airlines jet that had entered an intersecting runway. Flight-tracking data shows the Delta aircraft was on final approach when its descent was abruptly discontinued and it climbed away from the runway, with some assessments placing vertical separation at roughly 300 feet at the closest point. Both aircraft completed their flights without physical damage, and no injuries were reported among passengers or crew. The incident has prompted an FAA safety probe and renewed scrutiny of U.S. airspace and runway safety.
