Southwest And Fedex Planes Nearly Collide

TEXAS – Aviation officials are investigating a near-collision between a Fedex cargo plane and a Southwest passenger flight at a Texas airport on Saturday.

Officials say the cargo plane had to abort its landing as the Southwest flight was cleared to depart on the same runway.

A voice reportedly from an air traffic control recording is heard warning: “Southwest abort. Fedex is on the go.”

A flight-tracking service said the planes were under 1,000ft apart.
