Officials are investigating a close call between a business jet and Boeing 737 at San Diego airport
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a close call between a business jet and a Southwest Airlines plane on Friday at San Diego International Airport.
In a statement, the agency said it was investigating a “go-around” incident that happened around noon. A “go-around” refers to when an aircraft aborts a landing. The Cessna Citation business jet had to abort its landing because a Southwest Boeing 737 was still on the runway waiting to depart, officials said.An air traffic controller had initially cleared the business jet to land on Runway 27 and then instructed Southwest Flight 2493 to taxi onto that same runway before departing, the FAA said in a statement.
The FAA said it was sending a team of experts to investigate and determine just how close the aircraft were.
