NEW YORK — An airliner departing Kennedy Airport aborted its takeoff when another jet crossed the runway in front of it, the Federal Aviation Administration said Saturday.
At around 8:45 p.m. Friday, a Delta Air Lines Boeing 737 headed to the Dominican Republic was on its takeoff roll when a London-bound American Airlines Boeing 777 crossed the runway, the FAA said.
The Delta jet, Flight 1943, stopped 1,000 feet before it reached the section of Runway 4-L where the American jet, Flight 106, crossed in front of it, the FAA said in a statement.
