NEW YORK-<\/strong> Last year in New York, the pilots of an American Airlines (AA) <\/a>Boeing 777 mistakenly taxied across the incorrect runway, intersecting the path of Delta Air Lines (DL) <\/a>737. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The captain, who became distracted and confused about takeoff instructions, and the co-pilot, who lost track of their plane’s location, were identified as contributing factors in the incident, as revealed in documents made public on Monday (Jan 29, 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released documents as part of its ongoing investigation into the incident that occurred on January 13, 2023, at John F. Kennedy International Airport<\/a>. The board has not yet determined a probable cause for the close call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
