Another day, another very close call on a runway at a major US airport… what else is new?
Delta flight DL263 was cleared to land on runway 4R, and when that landing clearance was given, the air traffic controller even proactively mentioned “traffic holding on the crossing runway.” Indeed, Cape Air flight 9K548 was holding on runway 15R, awaiting takeoff clearance.
However, a short while later, the air traffic controller gave the Cape Air flight takeoff clearance. Just to be crystal clear, runways 4R and 15R intersect, and this clearance was given before the Delta plane landed.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
