FAA to step up small plane scrutiny after close-call between Southwest plane, business jet
Mar 7, 2025 12:16 PM

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday it taking steps to address safety issues involving general aviation and business jets after a serious Feb. 25 near-miss incident in Chicago.

The FAA said it will initiate safety-risk analysis of close encounters between pilots flying visually and pilots flying under air traffic control after holding a meeting Thursday with general and business aviation groups. Last month a Southwest Airlines ( LUV ) flight was forced to abort a landing at Chicago Midway and narrowly avoided a collision with a business jet that entered the runway without authorization.
