The Federal Aviation Administration has initiated an investigation following an incident involving a private jet carrying the Gonzaga University men’s basketball team at Los Angeles International Airport. The jet, operated by Key Lime Air, was directed by air traffic controllers to halt its movement as a Delta aircraft was taking off. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
According to the FAA, air traffic controllers instructed Key Lime Air Flight 563 to hold short of crossing a runway at LAX due to another aircraft's departure. Despite the directive, the Embraer E135 jet proceeded to cross the hold bars, prompting controllers to command the pilots to stop. The jet did not breach the runway edge line.
