A new airplane disaster almost happened at Chicago Midway International Airport in Illinois, USA. A Southwest Airlines passenger plane landing at the airport narrowly avoided hitting a private jet that entered the runway without permission from the tower. It was stated that the passenger plane coming to Chicago from Omaha in the state of Nebraska landed smoothly after the incident.
It was stated that the Bombardier Challenger 350 type private jet was flying to Knoxville, Tennessee.
In the news in the US press, it was stated that the tower instructed the pilot of the private jet to wait without cutting the runway, and the pilot did not comply with the instruction and was warned again by the tower to wait without cutting the runway.
Southwest Airlines said, “The crew followed safety procedures to the letter and the aircraft landed without incident. Nothing is more important to Southwest than customer and employee safety.”
