A JetBlue pilot has decried a near collision with a US military aircraft as “outrageous.” The incident took place on Tuesday morning above Long Island, New York, involving a JetBlue flight en route to Florida and an F-15 fighter jet.
The pilot reported that the military aircraft came dangerously close, causing concern and alarm among the passengers and crew. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed the incident, stating that the F-15 was conducting a standard military training exercise in the area, which is not uncommon.
In response, the US military emphasized that the F-15 pilot was following standard procedures and that the incident is under investigation. They also reiterated their commitment to safety and cooperation with civil aviation authorities to ensure airspace security.
JetBlue has expressed relief that there were no injuries during the incident but has called for a thorough investigation to prevent similar occurrences in the future. They have highlighted the need for clear communication and coordination between military and civilian aircraft to avoid such dangerous situations.
The investigation into the near collision is ongoing, with authorities examining radar data and communication recordings to understand what transpired. Both JetBlue and the US military have pledged their full cooperation to determine the facts surrounding the incident.
