In the USA, two passenger planes almost collided in the air
At the US International Airport, two passenger planes almost collided in the air during the landing stage. This was reported by The New York Post (NYP) on April 21.
"Two passenger planes avoided disaster by being forced to abort their landing after almost colliding — approaching each other at a distance of less than 120 m during landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport," the publication says.
Republic Airways flight 4464 abruptly veered off the approach path and approached the route of Jazz Aviation flight 554. Both crews received warnings about a possible collision from on-board systems.
The pilots responded adequately and prevented the disaster, the Federal Aviation Administration said. The Republic Airways flight performed a second-round departure.
In the American city of Phoenix, a light-engine aircraft crashed into residential buildings on March 4 due to a mechanical malfunction on board. As a result of the incident, two people on board were injured, as well as one of the residents of the houses.
