[Foreign Media: A U.S. Budget Airline Plane Nearly Collided with Trump's Private Jet Recently] BlockBeats News, September 18 – According to Bloomberg and other foreign media reports, on Tuesday, a Spirit Airlines Inc. budget airline plane nearly had a disturbing close encounter with a Boeing 747 private jet carrying U.S. President Trump and First Lady Melania to London. The incident occurred in New York's notoriously congested airspace, narrowly avoiding an accident. According to reports, as "Air Force One" and Spirit Airlines Flight 1300 (an Airbus A321 flying from Fort Lauderdale to Boston) were flying over Long Island, air traffic controllers noticed that the two planes were at similar altitudes and on intersecting flight paths. They repeatedly attempted to alert the Spirit Airlines pilot to change course, even reprimanding, "Pay attention and focus!" In response, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated that it had taken note of the related social media content and confirmed that there was no safety issue. "The aircraft maintained the required safe separation," the agency emphasized in a statement. Spirit Airlines also stated that the flight followed all air traffic control instructions and landed safely in Boston. "Safety is always our top priority," the airline said.
