Delta Flight Aborts Landing at Boston Logan After Near-Miss With American Airlines Plane

A Delta Air Lines flight from Dallas executed a go-around to avoid an American Airlines aircraft departing Boston Logan International Airport on June 21, coming within approximately 300 feet of the other jet. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating. The separation fell far short of standard instrument approach procedures, which mandate thousands of feet between aircraft depending on their category. A go-around prevented a potential runway incursion or mid-air conflict.
