NTSB to Conduct Hearing On TX Airliner Near-Miss

Board To Look Into Feb. 4, 2023 Close Call Between SWA 737 and FedEx 767

You could see this one coming from a mile away... which is more than we can say for how this near-miss almost occurred. 

The National Transportation Safety Board will hold an in-person board meeting in Washington on its investigation into the near-collision of two airliners in Texas last year.

On Feb. 4, 2023, there was a loss of separation and risk of an inflight collision when a Southwest Airlines B-737 was departing and a FedEx B-767 was on final approach to land at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. There were no injuries reported to the 128 passengers and crew onboard the Southwest airplane or to the three crew members onboard the FedEx airplane.

BUT... it was close. 

The five NTSB Members will hear presentations from investigators, deliberate over the draft report and vote on the proposed findings, probable cause and safety recommendations. An executive summary of the final report will be available after the meeting. 

The report will be published on the NTSB website several weeks after the meeting. 

The hearing will take place Thursday, June 6 at 0930 Eastern time at the NTSB Boardroom and Conference Center, 429 L’Enfant Plaza, SW, Washington, DC. The street entrance to the NTSB Boardroom and Conference Center is located on 10th Street, SW running between D Street and Frontage Road, SW just below the L'Enfant Plaza Promenade. 

The event will be live-streamed and accessible at the link noted below.
