The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating an incident at New York’s LaGuardia Airport on Oct. 7 just before 4 p.m. in which a business jet took off without clearance while a Delta regional flight was preparing to land on an intersecting runway, leading the Delta aircraft to execute a go‑around.
The two aircraft were about 1,000 feet apart at their closest point, with the Delta plane traveling at 147 mph and the business jet at 103 mph before the go‑around and takeoff respectively.
