Fatal American Airlines jet, Army helicopter collision result of 'mulitude of errors'

Mar 11, 2026 1:49 AM

WASHINGTON, Jan 27 (Reuters) - A fatal collision between

an American Airlines ( AAL ) regional jet ‌and Army Black Hawk helicopter

near Reagan Washington ‍National Airport in ⁠January ⁠2025 was the

result of ‌a "multitude of errors" and "systemic issues across

multiple organizations," members ⁠of ‍the National Transportation

Safety Board said Tuesday.

The board is holding ‍an all-day hearing and plans to propose

dozens of safety recommendations to address ‍failures before the

crash. The NTSB disclosed in March that since 2021 there were

15,200 air separation incidents near Reagan between commercial

airplanes and helicopters, including 85 close-call events.
