Planes Narrowly Avoid Collision at JFK

0:00It's April 22nd. This is California News Today, driven by AI. Two planes came way too close for comfort while landing at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport on Monday. A republic airways jet operating for American Airlines was on runway 31 left when it drifted into the path of a jazz aviation flight for air. Canada on the parallel runway 31 right. Collision alarms blared in both cockpits, forcing quick evasive moves. Those jumped in fast, warning the republic pilots they were off course and telling the jazz crew to climb to 3,000 feet. The republic plane aborted its landing and went around, while both aircraft circled safely before touching down without issues. Pilots followed their training to the letter, and airlines confirmed everything went smooth after the go-around. No one was hurt, but it shook things up in the control tower and sparked immediate questions about runway spacing. The Federal Aviation Administration is digging into what went wrong, with early signs pointing

1:00to the republic flight missing its approach path. This comes right after a string of near misses, like southwest jets almost colliding near Nashville on Saturday, a frontier plane slamming brake set. Los Angeles International, for trucks in its way earlier this month, and a black hawk chopper setting off alarms for a united flight in Orange County. Last month, aviation stays on high alert these days, with probes like this one pushing for tighter safety nets to keep close calls from turning tragic.
