FAA Investigates Delta Air Lines Go-Around Incident
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced it is looking into an incident involving a Delta Air Lines flight that had to perform a go-around at Boston Logan International Airport. This occurred after another aircraft took off from a nearby intersecting runway.
“The crew of Delta Air Lines Flight 2351 executed a go-around at Boston Logan after another plane departed from an intersecting runway,” the FAA explained in a statement. The event took place on Saturday, June 20, around 11:30 a.m. local time.
A representative from Delta commented, emphasizing that the crew prioritized safety. “Nothing is more important than safety. The crew of Delta Flight 2351 collaborated with air traffic control and adhered to proper procedures to carry out a go-around and then land safely,” the spokesperson shared.
According to Delta, there were 129 passengers along with six crew members on the flight, which was traveling from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport in Texas to Boston Logan International Airport in Massachusetts.
During the descent, the aircraft’s systems alerted the crew about potential traffic issues, prompting coordination with air traffic control to conduct the go-around. This aircraft is equipped with collision alert technology designed to help prevent potential accidents with other planes.
Ultimately, Delta Air Lines confirmed that the flight landed without any reported issues. Safety procedures were effectively followed, which is always a relief in such situations.
