The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) launched an investigation into a close call at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) last Friday, where a private jet carrying a college basketball team narrowly avoided a potential runway collision . \The incident occurred as the Key Lime Air-operated Embraer E135 jet, designated Flight 563, was instructed to hold short of a runway while a Delta Airlines flight was taking off.
According to the FAA, the jet carrying the Gonzaga University men's basketball team crossed the hold bars but halted before the runway edge line following an urgent command from air traffic controllers to 'Stop, stop, stop.' A livestream capturing the runway activity showed the Key Lime Air flight stopping abruptly before resuming movement after a brief pause. \Neither Key Lime Air nor Delta Airlines reported any injuries or operational disruptions. Delta, whose flight 471 was involved, stated that the flight operated normally and pledged cooperation with the FAA.\The Gonzaga team was in Los Angeles for Saturday's game against UCLA at Intuit Dome, where the Gonzaga Bulldogs suffered a narrow 65-62 defeat. Gonzaga returned to the court Monday night in Malibu, clinching an 89-82 victory over Pepperdine in their West Coast Conference opener
