FAA Investigates Second Near-Collision at Reagan National in Six Weeks

American Airlines flight forced to abort takeoff to avoid landing aircraft, raising safety concerns at busy airport.

American Airlines Flight 2134 was cleared for takeoff while a King Air plane was cleared to land on an intersecting runway.
The American Airlines plane reached speeds of nearly 100 mph before takeoff was canceled, requiring maintenance inspection.
This incident follows a similar near-collision at Reagan National in April involving JetBlue and Southwest Airlines planes.
Lawmakers argue that the airport is overburdened and oppose adding more flights, citing safety risks.
The FAA is conducting an investigation into the incident and the overall safety protocols at the airport.
