A passenger jet was forced to pull up from landing at Boston Logan International Airport on Sunday due to another plane still being on the runway, according to officials. This incident marks the second such occurrence in two days, with another Delta plane aborting its landing on Saturday. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is currently investigating both go-around incidents, which resulted in both planes landing safely.
Incident Details
Sunday’s incident occurred at approximately 5:45 p.m. when Delta Flight 1075 was instructed by Logan air traffic control to go around. The other aircraft was in the process of clearing the Delta plane’s runway after crossing it, as reported by the FAA. A Delta spokeswoman confirmed that the flight from Raleigh-Durham to Boston was told to go around, stating that the crew followed established procedures and landed safely without incident.
Saturday’s go-around at Logan airport caught the attention of Sen. Tammy Duckworth, who praised the pilots of Delta Flight 2351 for saving the lives of people on the planes. Former New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, now the president and CEO of industry advocacy group Airlines for America, noted that there are many more near-misses than what is formally reported, with hundreds occurring every single day.
