The passenger -Jet broke off to avoid a crash at the Laguardia airport in New York

After a Republic Airways Jet was forced to stop his start to avoid a collision with a United Airlines aircraft, which still crossed the runway at the beginning of this month at Laguardia Airport.

The two planes planned on the same runway on May 6th when the Pilot of the Republic Airways had to hit the brakes on the brakes, Fox Business can confirm.

“A airport controller at Laguardia Airport in New York canceled the starting release for Republic Airways Flight 4736 because United Airlines Flight 2657 was directed on the same runway,” a spokesman for the FAA told Fox Business.

The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board examine the incident that took place on May 6th at 12:35 p.m.

“Sorry, I thought United clarified well in advance,” the air traffic controller in Tower Audio, which was published by ABC News, is heard, citing LiveAtc.net.

The incident occurred, although the airport was equipped with an advanced surface radar system as ASDE-X and contributes to preventing close calls by being able to pursue aircraft and vehicles on the ground.

While Laguardia belongs to almost three dozen 35 airports in the United States, which are equipped with the ASDE-X tracking system, almost 500 high-jumped airports are still dependent on binoculars, due to the high costs of the technology.

The transport secretary Sean Duffy said that he wanted to expand the system at additional airports if the congress signs its proposal to revise the country's flight connection system.

“Decades of neglect have left us an outdated system that shows its age,” he said at the beginning of this month. “The establishment of this new system is an economic and national security need, and the time to fix it is now.”

However, the technology is still not immune to mistakes, as shown in this incident and several other close calls in recent years.
