According to the FAA, an air traffic controller cleared a SkyWest Airlines Embraer E175 to take off from Runway 33 at the Hollywood Burbank Airport around 6:55 p.m. local time. At the same time, a Mesa Airlines Bombardier CRJ900 was approaching to land on the same runway and was approximately 1.3 miles out from the airport.
The incident is similar to one at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas during a dense fog on the morning of Feb. 4. A FedEx cargo jet was cleared to land on the same runway that a Southwest Airlines passenger jet was already on and beginning its roll to take off. The FedEx pilot pulled up just in time as the NTSB says the two airplanes came within 100 feet of one another.
