LAX Reports 2 Close Calls This Month
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Los Angeles International Airport officials have seen two low-level close calls this month.
On July 2, controllers canceled takeoff clearance for a Spirit Airlines jet after an Aeromexico Boeing 737 came too close to a runway the jet was preparing to use. On July 4, controllers told the pilot of a SkyWest turboprop to abort his landing because a Continental Express regional jet had gotten too close to the intended runway.
LAX has charted five close calls on runways this year, the same as at this time in 2005.
