Delta Flight Aborts Landing After Jet Takes Off (thetravel.com)

A Delta Air Lines regional flight DL5415 from Omaha aborted its landing at LaGuardia Airport on October 7, 2026, after a business jet took off without clearance from an intersecting runway, coming within roughly 1,000 feet of the Delta plane. The Delta crew performed a go-around at about 147 mph and landed safely with no injuries reported. The FAA is investigating whether the business jet had takeoff permission, with air traffic control audio capturing the pilot disputing the controller's account that he was only cleared to line up and wait.
