The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a close call involving American Airlines at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed it is investigating a close call between two aircraft at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday. Around 10:30 a.m. local time, the FAA said an air traffic controller canceled the takeoff clearance for American Airlines Flight 2134 because another aircraft was cleared to land on an intersecting runway. American Airlines told FOX Business that it will support the FAA in its investigation.
