New York – US air safety regulators are facing fresh questions following recent near crashes at American airports, further challenging an aviation industry ramp-up in response to rising travel demand.
Mr Nolen said the incident remains under investigation, adding that “we’ll go where the facts take us”. It came within 427m of a Delta Air Lines jet heading to the Dominican Republic, according to a preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board. Mike Stengel, a senior associate at AeroDynamic Advisory, a consultancy, said there was “no obvious linkage” between the events.
“The question is: Is the FAA prepared for the future,” Hall asked. “It’s time for Congress and the FAA leadership to look very closely whether the FAA is structured, funded and staffed to prepare aviation for the future.” In response to the incidents, Mr Nolen announced that he is convening a safety summit in March, as well as reviews of safety information sharing and of the Air Traffic Organization.
