On October 19, 2022, a Southwest Airlines jet and a private plane came alarmingly close due to a miscommunication from air traffic control, highlighting ongoing safety concerns.
The NTSB's preliminary report pointed out that a miscommunication resulted in the Southwest team being cleared to land on the same runway as a small private plane.
This incident reflects a troubling trend in aviation where air traffic control errors increasingly put aircraft in close proximity, endangering passenger safety.
After the Southwest pilots reported another aircraft on the runway, both planes completed their maneuvers safely, but the near miss raises serious questions about procedural safety.
