A near-collision between a Delta Air Lines passenger jet and a business aircraft has prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to launch an investigation at LaGuardia Airport. The incident, described as a "close call" by aviation authorities, raises concerns about air traffic control procedures and safety protocols in busy urban airspaces. Witnesses reported the two planes came dangerously close mid-approach, though no immediate details on altitude or separation distance have been confirmed. The FAA’s review will examine whether communication or operational errors contributed to the potentially hazardous situation.
