The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a close call between two commercial flights that were in danger of colliding Saturday morning at Boston Logan International Airport.
A Delta Air Lines flight from Dallas had to execute a go-around, or aborted landing, to avoid an American Airlines plane departing from an intersecting runway, according to the FAA and flight logs.
The crew of Delta flight 2351 coordinated with air traffic control to perform the go-around, an airline spokesperson said. The plane, which had 129 passengers and six crew members on board, landed safely and deplaned normally, according to the spokesperson.
American Airlines and the airport referred requests for comment to the FAA.
Go-arounds are safe, routine procedures performed at the discretion of the pilot or air traffic controllers, according to the FAA.
The close call comes on the heels of multiple aviation accidents in recent days.
On Saturday a founder of a gaming company was killed in a plane crash in France. Earlier this week a business jet crashed in Laredo, Texas, killing one person on board.
A B-52 crashed Monday during a test flight at Edwards Air Force Base in California and killed all eight people aboard. And last Sunday 12 people were killed when a plane on a skydiving outing in Missouri crashed.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Kyle Schwarber launched two long home runs in Philadelphia's eight-run third inning and Bryce Harper became the 11th player in franchise history to hit for the cycle, leading the Phillies to a 15-3 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday night
Schwarber led off the Phillies' huge inning with a solo homer off Mets starter Freddy Peralta, sending the ball 456 feet into the second deck in right field.
Later in the inning, Schwarber hit a three-run shot off Cionel Perez into nearly the same spot, 457 feet away.
Schwarber is the 67th player in major league history to hit two home runs in an inning and the second this season, joining Houston’s Yordan Alvarez, who accomplished the feat on June 12. He's the fourth Phillies player to do so, along with Trea Turner (Aug. 19, 2023), Von Hayes (June 11, 1985) and Andy Seminick (June 2, 1949).
Schwarber hit his third homer of the game — giving him a major league-leading 28 — in the seventh, a two-run shot off Tobias Myers. He finished 4 for 5 with six RBIs and scored four runs.
Harper completed his first career cycle by the fifth inning. He hit a solo home run in the first, his 16th of the season. He doubled and scored on an error in the third, then singled after Schwarber’s second home run.
In the fifth, Harper lined a ball into the gap in left-center field and motored around to third base for a two-run triple. He's the first Phillies player to hit for the cycle since Weston Wilson on Aug. 15, 2024. Harper finished 4 for 5 with three RBIs and two runs.
Harper is the second player this season — and this week — to hit for the cycle, joining the Chicago Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong, who accomplished the feat Monday night in a 5-4 win over Colorado.
