The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating a close call incident between two passenger planes at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on Friday, the transportation agency announced.
A departing Delta Air Lines Boeing 737 flight started to take off from a JFK runway but was forced to stop its takeoff midway because of an American Airlines Boeing 777 aircraft crossing that same runway, the FAA said in a statement to The Hill, based on preliminary information ahead of the investigation.
Air traffic controllers noticed the potential collision and scrambled to alert both flights, asking the Delta flight to cancel takeoff and the American plane to stay in place.
