An American Airlines flight was forced to abort its landing at Washington DC’s Ronald Reagan National Airport to avoid a plane taking off on the same runway — less than a month after a midair collision killed 67 people near the same airport.

An American Airlines plane performed a go-around to avoid getting too close to another aircraft departing from the same runway, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

An American Airlines pilot canceled a landing at Reagan Washington National Airport on Tuesday to avoid colliding with a departing flight, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The incident occurred at around 8:20 a.
