An Alaska Airlines flight aborted takeoff on a runway at Nashville International Airport Thursday to avoid a potential collision with a Southwest Airlines plane, according to officials.
Two days after two planes collided on an Atlanta tarmac, a crisis was averted after the pilot of an Alaska Airlines flight in Tennessee pumped the brakes while attempting to take off from Nashville International Airport and narrowly avoided a potential collision with another plane. According to an Alaska Airlines spokesperson, Flight 369 aborted takeoff at BNA Thursday morning due to a 'potential traffic conflict' with a Southwest plane on the runway.
Alaska Airlines added that no injuries were reported by passengers or crew members. Officials said maintenance technicians in Nashville are inspecting the aircraft. The near-miss at BNA comes just two days after a Delta Airbus A350 and an Endeavor Bombardier CRJ900 jet clipped each other on the tarmac Tuesday at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
