A private jet and a Southwest Airlines plane narrowly averted collision at a San Diego airport two years ago after air traffic controllers got distracted, a new report has revealed.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued its final findings on Tuesday regarding the August 2023 incident, stating that both the controller managing the aircraft and their supervisor made "bad choices" that diverted their attention from the landing procedure. The two planes came within just 100 feet of each other on the runway.
