A Learjet pilot at Boston's Logan International Airport took off without permission, causing a potential collision with a JetBlue plane preparing to land on an intersecting runway. The incident was captured on video from the JetBlue cockpit, and federal investigators are now looking into the pilot's actions, highlighting the importance of aviation safety and the risks of runway incursions.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released an image showing a close call between a JetBlue flight and a Learjet at Logan Airport in Boston. The incident occurred on February 27 when the Learjet crossed in front of the JetBlue plane that was about to land. The JetBlue flight initiated a "go-around" and passed about 400 feet over the Learjet. The NTSB determined that the probable cause of the incident was the Hop-a-Jet flight crew taking off without a takeoff clearance, resulting in a conflict with the JetBlue flight. No injuries were reported.
The US Coast Guard has suspended its search for three people who were aboard a Learjet that crashed into the Pacific Ocean about a mile from a Navy-owned island off the coast of San Diego. The search involved multiple agencies and covered 334 square miles, but no identities have been released.
Delta Flight 1482 aborted takeoff at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport after a private Learjet got too close to the runway. The FAA said the Learjet never crossed the "hold short line," and the air traffic controller canceled the takeoff clearance for the Delta Airbus A321 out of an abundance of caution. Passengers experienced a delay of nearly 45 minutes before returning to the gate to allow the jet's brakes to cool down.
