Twee Southwest-vliegtuigen vermeden botsing op Nashville-vliegveld

Two Southwest Airlines planes narrowly avoided a midair collision at Nashville airport on Saturday after an air traffic controller mistakenly directed one aircraft into the path of the other. Both pilots received collision avoidance system alerts and took evasive action, with one plane climbing while the other descended. Flight data suggests the aircraft came as close as 500 feet apart. The incident follows heightened scrutiny of aviation safety after a fatal midair collision near Washington D.C. in January 2025 killed 67 people.
