FAA Investigates Incident That Forced Delta Flight To Abort Landing In Boston

BOSTON (AP) — An aviation expert says a Delta Air Lines jet was roughly 300 feet from an American Airlines plane during a close call at Boston’s airport that forced the Delta aircraft to abort its landing. The Federal Aviation Administration says it's investigating Saturday's incident involving the two commercial flights Saturday at Boston Logan International Airport. Todd Curtis, a former safety engineer at Boeing, on Sunday estimated the distance between the two jetliners using Flightradar24, a website that tracks flights. Curtis called it a significant incident. Near-misses and runway incursions at U.S. airports will be the subject of a hearing Tuesday on Capitol Hill.
