Catastrofă aviatică evitată în ultimul moment în Statele Unite. Două avioane Boeing 737 erau să se ciocnească în aer

A potential aviation disaster was averted in the U.S. when a Phoenix air traffic controller identified two American Airlines flights with the same flight number and took action to ensure their safe separation. The flight AA2482 regularly operates between Chicago and Phoenix, but due to weather delays, a new aircraft was assigned for the return flight. Both planes entered the same airspace simultaneously, prompting the controller to rename the flight identifiers to avoid confusion. The experienced controller successfully managed the situation, ensuring both aircraft remained at safe altitudes and distances from each other, preventing a possible collision.
