Close call between two planes being investigated at New York’s JFK airport

“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 said in a statement about ​the Monday incident.

“The FAA is investigating the event,” it added.

The two planes came within 350ft (107 meters) vertically and 0.62 miles horizontally at their closest ​points, according to flight-tracking service Flightradar24.

The two planes went around ​and landed without incident, according to an ABC News affiliate. In ‌the ⁠air traffic control audio, anti-collision alarms were heard blaring in the tower and cockpit, the ABC affiliate reported.

Controllers told pilots in both planes to take evasive actions and the ​initial landing ​was aborted ⁠before the jets eventually made safe landings, according to the report.

The pilots told the controllers ​they were responding to the RA alarm, ​or “resolution ⁠advisories”, which is the most serious of the anti-collision warnings pilots can get, the report added.

Last month, New York’s LaGuardia ⁠airport witnessed ​a deadly collision when an Air ​Canada Express jet struck a fire truck, killing the plane’s two pilots.
