WASHINGTON, May 31 (Reuters) - The National
Transportation Safety Board said on Friday it will open an
investigation into a near-collision earlier this week between an
American Airlines ( AAL ) jet and a small airplane at Reagan
Washington National Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration said earlier that an air
traffic controller had canceled takeoff clearance for American
Airlines Flight 2134 -- an Airbus A319 -- because a Hawker
Beechcraft Super King Air was cleared to land on an intersecting
runway at the airport.
