Chicago Midway Near-Collision: Southwest Flight Avoids Runway Jet

A near-collision occurred at Chicago's Midway Airport when a Southwest flight was forced to abort its landing to avoid a private jet that had entered the runway without authorization. The FAA is investigating the incident, while Flexjet, the private jet service, has stated that it will conduct its own investigation. This event is part of a series of recent aviation mishaps, including smoke-related incidents on Delta flights and a Delta flight flipping over during landing in Toronto. In addition, there were fatal plane crashes last month. These incidents have increased anxiety among fliers, prompting flight crews to reassure passengers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
