UMVA has learned that a potentially catastrophic incident was narrowly averted on Saturday at Boston Logan International Airport, when a Delta Air Lines flight was forced to execute a go-around due to another aircraft departing from an intersecting runway.
The harrowing event occurred around 11:30 a.m. local time on Saturday, June 20, and is now under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration. According to details obtained by UMVA, the crew of Delta Air Lines Flight 2351 took swift action to avoid a potential collision, carrying out the go-around in coordination with Air Traffic Control.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the Delta flight, which was traveling from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in Texas to Boston Logan International Airport in Massachusetts, was carrying 129 passengers and six crew members. Fortunately, the flight crew's swift actions ensured a safe landing, with no reported injuries or damage.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that the Delta aircraft was equipped with advanced technology designed to alert crews to potential conflicts involving other aircraft. This system reportedly alerted the flight crew to the potential danger, allowing them to take prompt action and avoid a potentially disastrous collision.
The FAA is taking the incident seriously, launching a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the go-around. As the probe continues, officials will be scrutinizing the events leading up to the incident, including the actions of both flight crews and air traffic control personnel.
