US to determine cause of Southwest, FedEx jetliners near miss incident
May 9, 2024 12:53 PM

WASHINGTON, May 9 (Reuters) - The National

Transportation Safety Board will hold a June 6 hearing to

determine the probable cause of a February 2023 near miss

incident between a FedEx ( FDX ) cargo plane and a Southwest

Airlines ( LUV ) in Austin.

NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said last year the planes came

within about 115 feet of each other in poor visibility in what

could have been a "terrible tragedy." The FedEx ( FDX ) plane's first

officer saw a single light in the fog from the Southwest ( LUV ) 737 and

then a silhouette of the plane before the crew aborted their

planned landing on the same runway, Homendy said.
