The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating an incident involving two commercial aircraft that led to a landing being aborted to avoid a potential collision. Multiple outlets report that the situation occurred at Boston Logan International Airport. According to the accounts, one of the flights—operated by Delta—aborts its landing during the approach or landing phase after air traffic situations place the aircraft in danger of coming too close to another aircraft. The FAA is reviewing what happened, including the timing and spacing between the flights, and the actions taken by pilots and air traffic control. The incident is described as a “close call,” rather than an accident, and the reported response is an aborted landing to reduce the risk of collision. While the reports consistently identify the airport and that a Delta landing was aborted, they do not provide additional operational details such as the other airline involved, specific flight numbers, or whether any injuries were reported. The investigation is ongoing.
