BOSTON-<\/strong> On October 27, 2024, an Atlanta-based, Delta Air Lines (DL)<\/a> flight from London Heathrow (LHR) to Boston Logan (BOS)<\/a> performed a go-around to avoid collision with aircraft taking off from the Boston Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t get confused with Delta flight DL2196 which also did go-around a few days ago and we will share more details later in the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta Flight Go-Around at Boston<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) <\/a>has reported the incident and is currently investigating it to find out what happened and how to avoid such incidents in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAA wrote, “An air traffic controller instructed Delta Air Lines Flight DL59 to perform a go-around at Boston Logan <\/em>Int’l Airport because another plane was departing at the same time the Airbus A330 was attempting to land. The incident occurred at around 12:45 p.m. local time on Sunday, October 27. There was no loss of safe operation.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now let us establish a flight timeline using FlightRadar24 data. Delta Flight DL59 took off from Heathrow at 9:28 AM local time. The seven-hour journey was smoothly carried up until it was about to land in Boston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At around 12:43 PM, the DL aircraft which almost landed on the runway was instructed by ATC to do a go-around as another aircraft, probably belonging to JetBlue Airways (unconfirmed) was taking off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FlightRadar24 data shows that JetBlue <\/a>flight B6531 <\/strong>to San Juan (SJU) using Airbus A220 aircraft, registered as N3125J took off from Boston at 12:43 PM. So it can be the one that affected Delta’s landing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred when a Delta flight operated by Airbus A330-200<\/a>, registered as N855NW <\/strong>was attempting to land at Runway 33L.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After performing a go-around, the Delta flight landed safely on the second attempt at around 12:55 PM local time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta Spokesperson told Aviation A2Z in an email statement,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta Air Lines Flight 59 from Heathrow to Boston performed a go-around per request by Air Traffic Control. The aircraft landed safely without incident and taxied to the gate within 10 minutes of its scheduled arrival time.\u201d<\/p>Delta Spokesperson<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the Spokesperson said, “Delta will cooperate with the FAA on their investigation.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar Incident<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A few days ago on October 24, another Delta flight DL2196 <\/strong>from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL) performed a go-around to avoid a collision with an aircraft at Boston Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Boeing 737-800<\/a>, registered as N376DA, circled the airport before completing a successful landing on Runway 27 in a second attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boston 25 television obtained air traffic control communications revealing controllers instructing the obstructing aircraft to clear the runway. The delayed taxiing aircraft prompted immediate safety protocols from air traffic control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Federal Aviation Administration credited the air traffic controller’s rapid response for preventing a potential collision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The go-around maneuver, a standard safety procedure when landing conditions become unsafe, allowed Flight 2196’s pilots to abort their initial approach. This safety protocol enables aircraft to attempt another landing under more favorable conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
