JFK Airport Near Miss Investigation

JFK Airport Near Miss Investigation

The incident occurred on Monday afternoon when anti-collision alarms sounded in both cockpits, prompting pilots to take immediate evasive action.

Audio from air traffic control reveals the tense moments as controllers worked to separate the two regional jets.

While both planes eventually landed safely, the event marks the second such close call at a major U.S. airport in recent days.

Federal officials are now reviewing cockpit data and communication logs to determine the cause of the course deviation.
