FAA Investigating Two Near Mid-Air Collisions Between Commercial Aircraft

By Danielle

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating two separate incidents where commercial aircraft had to take evasive action to avoid mid-air collisions.

One incident involved two Southwest Airlines jets just north of Nashville International Airport.

“The crew of Southwest Airlines Flight 507 initiated a go-around at Nashville International Airport and then received instructions from air traffic control that put the flight in the path of another airplane that was departing from a parallel runway. Both flight crews responded to onboard alerts. The FAA is investigating the event that occurred around 5:30 p.m. local time on Saturday, April 18,” the FAA said in a statement, according to NewsChannel 5 Nashville.

The planes reportedly came within 500 feet of each other.
