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 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 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.
