Arlington, VA : Another near-collision on the runway at Reagan National Airport sparks FAA investigation on Wednesday, 29h May 2024

A close call between two airplanes at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Virginia, on Wednesday morning is under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration.

The near-collision comes after air traffic controllers scrambled to stop another potential crash last month, and it spurred U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine to criticize the passage of a federal bill that’s set to bring more flights to Reagan National.

In the latest scare, an American Airlines plane, which was headed to Boston, had reached speeds of about 100 mph on the runway when air traffic controllers ordered the pilot to stop, NBC Boston reported.
