On May 20, 2025, a JetBlue flight at New York's LaGuardia Airport had to abort its takeoff to avoid a potential collision with a private jet that was crossing the runway. The JetBlue Airbus A320, carrying 140 passengers, slammed on its brakes and came to a safe stop just 1,000 feet from the private jet. The incident, which occurred around 7:45 a.m., prompted an immediate investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). No injuries were reported, but the close call has raised concerns about runway safety and air traffic control protocols. JetBlue commended the quick actions of their pilots and emphasized their commitment to safety, while the FAA stated that they would review the incident to enhance future safety measures.
