Foreign Media: U.S. Budget Airline Plane Nearly Collided with Trump's Private Jet

BlockBeats News, September 18th, according to reports from Bloomberg and other foreign media, on Tuesday, a commercial aircraft of the U.S. budget airline "Spirit Airlines Inc." had a disturbingly close encounter with Air Force One carrying U.S. President Trump and First Lady Melania on their way to London aboard a Boeing 747 special plane, in New York's famous congested airspace, nearly causing an accident.

According to insiders, when Air Force One and Spirit Airlines Flight 1300 (an Airbus A321 plane flying from Fort Lauderdale to Boston) passed over Long Island, the air traffic controller noticed that the two aircraft were at a similar altitude and their flight paths were converging. He repeatedly tried to warn the Spirit Airlines pilot to change course, even reprimanding, "Stay focused!"

In response, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated that it had noticed the relevant social media content and confirmed that there were no safety issues. "The aircraft maintained the prescribed separation," the agency emphasized in a statement. Spirit Airlines stated that the flight fully complied with air traffic control instructions and has safely landed in Boston. "Safety is always our top priority," the airline said.
