Southwest Plane Narrowly Avoids Collision with Private Jet at Chicago Airport

The FAA and NTSB are investigating a runway incursion where a business jet entered the runway without authorization, forcing a Southwest flight to perform a go-around.

Southwest Flight 2504 from Omaha was forced to abort its landing at Chicago Midway Airport after a private jet crossed its runway without clearance.
The private jet, operated by Flexjet, reportedly misunderstood and failed to follow air traffic control instructions to hold short of the runway.
The Southwest plane was just 50 feet from the ground when it climbed sharply, passing approximately 250 feet above the smaller jet before landing safely.
The FAA and NTSB have initiated investigations, requesting cockpit voice and flight data recordings from both aircraft to determine the cause of the incident.
This near-miss is part of a series of recent aviation safety incidents, raising concerns about runway incursions and air traffic management.
