Federal aviation authorities announced Tuesday they are examining a dangerous near-collision involving two commercial aircraft at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.<\/p>

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, Republic Airways Flight 4464 had to execute an emergency go-around maneuver Monday after deviating from its proper approach route and coming dangerously close to Jazz Aviation Flight 554, which had authorization to land on an adjacent runway.<\/p>

“The crew of Republic Airways Flight 4464 performed a go-around at John F. Kennedy International Airport after missing the intended approach path and flying too close to Jazz Aviation Flight 554, which was cleared to land on a parallel runway. Both flight crews responded to onboard alerts,” the FAA stated regarding Monday’s incident.<\/p>

“The FAA is investigating the event,” the agency confirmed.<\/p>

Flight tracking data from Flightradar24 revealed the aircraft came within a mere 350 feet of each other vertically and just 0.62 miles apart horizontally at their nearest point.<\/p>

According to reports from an ABC News affiliate, both aircraft successfully completed go-around procedures and touched down safely afterward. Air traffic control recordings captured the sound of anti-collision warning systems activating in both the control tower and aircraft cockpits.<\/p>

Traffic controllers instructed pilots aboard both jets to execute emergency maneuvers, leading to the cancellation of the initial landing attempt before both planes ultimately landed without further incident.<\/p>

The flight crews informed controllers they were responding to RA alarms, known as “resolution advisories,” which represent the most critical type of collision-avoidance warning available to pilots.<\/p>

This incident follows last month’s fatal accident at LaGuardia Airport in New York, where an Air Canada Express aircraft collided with a fire truck, resulting in the deaths of both pilots.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
