April 22 (UPI) -- The Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday it is investigating a near miss between two planes landing in New York at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The incident happened on Monday afternoon between Air Canada and American Airlines flights. The American Airlines regional jet aborted its landing after it missed its approach path, the FAA said. That caused it to veer too close to an Air Canada regional jet that was already cleared to land on a parallel runway.
Both planes responded to their onboard collision warnings and avoided each other. They then safely repeated their landing attempts.
The Air Canada flight 8554 was operated by Jazz Aviation and originated from Toronto. The American flight 4464 was operated by Republic Airways and began at Indianapolis.
