*BREAKING Near-miss incident as aircraft enters runway while Southwest flight lands at Chicago Midway Airport* On Tuesday, February 25, 2025, a near-collision occurred at Chicago's Midway International Airport involving a Southwest Airlines flight and a private jet. Southwest Airlines Flight 2504, arriving from Omaha, Nebraska, was on its final approach around 8:50 a.m. local time when a private Bombardier Challenger 350 jet crossed the runway without authorization. This unexpected incursion forced the Southwest Boeing 737-800 to abort its landing and execute a go-around maneuver, narrowly avoiding a catastrophic collision. Video footage captured the harrowing moment as the Southwest aircraft descended toward the runway, only to ascend abruptly when the private jet moved into its path. The Southwest flight successfully landed approximately 15 minutes later, with no injuries reported among passengers or crew. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has initiated an investigation into the incident, stating that the private jet "entered the runway without authorization." This event adds to a series of recent aviation safety concerns in the United States. Notably, in late January, a midair collision near Washington, D.C., between a U.S. Army helicopter and an American Airlines plane resulted in 67 fatalities. Additionally, a Delta Airlines flight crash-landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport on February 17, flipping upside down and erupting into flames; miraculously, no lives were lost in that incident. In response to these events, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has pledged to enhance the national air traffic control systems to prevent future occurrences. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are conducting thorough investigations into these incidents to determine their causes and implement necessary safety measures. Flexjet, the operator of the private aircraft involved in the Chicago incident, has stated that they are conducting an internal investigation to uphold their commitment to the highest safety standards. As these investigations proceed, the aviation community and the public await further details to understand the factors contributing to these near-miss events and to ensure the continued safety of air travel. _*#flywithfavour;* Bringing to you, the latest news in the world of aviation 🛬🛫✈️🌍_
