NTSB Board Meeting - 2023 Near Collision of Two Airliners in Austin, TX

The National Transportation Safety Board held an in-person board meeting in Washington on its investigation into the near-collision of two airliners in Texas last year.

On Feb. 4, 2023, there was a loss of separation and risk of a collision when a Southwest Airlines B-737 was departing and a FedEx B-767 was on final approach to land at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. There were no injuries reported to the 128 passengers and crew onboard the Southwest airplane or to the three crew members onboard the FedEx airplane.

The five NTSB Members heard presentations from investigators, deliberate over the draft report and vote on the proposed findings, probable cause and safety recommendations. An executive summary of the final report is available here: https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/P...

The report will be published on the NSTB website several weeks after the meeting.
