Near Disaster As American Airlines Plane Passes In Front Of Departing Delta Jet In New York
Near Disaster As American Airlines Plane Passes In Front Of Departing Delta Jet In New York
On Friday night, American Airlines flight 106 from New York JFK to London Heathrow had a near-collision with a Delta Air Lines Boeing 737 headed to Santo Domingo. The American plane appears to have attempted to depart from the wrong runway. The incident was first reported early Saturday morning by aviation watchdog JonNYC.
The American Airlines aircraft was supposed to depart runway 4L, but held short of 31L – and crossed in front of the Delta plane. Air traffic control yelled, “Delta 1943 cancel takeoff clearance!” The Delta plane stopped its takeoff, and cleared the runway.
ATC:Shit! Delta 1943 cancel takeoff clearance! Delta 1943 cancel takeoff clearance.
Delta: Rejecting
ATC: Alright, whew, Delta 1943. Delta 1943 are you able to taxi, or do you need a couple of minutes to run checks?
Delta: Yeah we can get off the runway Delta 1943.
Meanwhile air traffic control had words for American crossing in front of an active runway:
American: The last clearance we were given, we were cleared to cross is that correct?
ATC: American 106 Heavy, we’re departing runway 4 left, I guess we’ll listen to the tapes but you’re supposed to depart runway 4 left, you’re currently holding short of runway 31 left.
JonNYC shares the air traffic control audio excerpts:

At 14 seconds into this illustration you can see the Delta plane begin its takeoff roll, aborting at the last minute as the American Airlines Boeing 777-200 crossed right in front of it.

A passenger on the Delta flight, Brian Healy, reports that Delta 1943 had accelerated for “2 or 3 seconds” when it began braking, to the astonishment of passengers who “gasp[ed]” and fell into “total silence” before hearing from the captain who told passengers that they had been ordered by air traffic control to abort. They taxied back to the gate, and tried again the next morning.
The pilot came on after a couple of agonizing minutes to report ATC had ordered the takeoff to abort. Took an hour to taxi back to the gate… and I took a pass on going back to JFK this morning, when DL1943 finally took off 15 hours later.

Here’s a report that JonNYC relays from someone on board the American flight.
“was on AA106 last night watching our plane on PlaneFinder.Approached the active runway. Assumed we’d make a right.Crossed the active runway and pilot pushed for LOTS of power. Seemed extremely weird. Then sat motionless for about 20 minutes. Makes more sense now that I see this”

Ultimately air traffic control saw what was happening and acted quickly when, it appears, the American flight to London misheard its instructions. I’ve reached out to American Airlines for a statement and will update if I hear back.

Delta Air Lines is rolling out free Wi-Fi
New York
CNN
—
Delta Air Lines is rolling out free Wi-Fi to most of its planes beginning February 1.
“It’s going to be free, it’s going to be fast and its going to be available for everyone,” Delta CEO Ed Bastian said Thursday at Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. He added that the airline invested more than $1 billion in Wi-Fi technology over the past few years.
Passengers will need to be a member of its free SkyMiles loyalty program to access the on-board internet. Customers who aren’t members will have to pay a flat fee of $10.
More than 500 of Delta’s domestic narrow-body planes serving the airline’s “most popular routes” will be ready for free Wi-Fi at launch, the company said. Wide-body international and smaller regional jets will be coming online by the end of 2024.
Customers will know if their flight has free Wi-Fi by a decal noting it near the boarding door. They also can connect multiple devices at one time.
The announcement, made Thursday at the Consumer Electronics Show, is several years in the making. Bastian said in 2018 that offering free Wi-Fi across its fleet was a priority, but needed time to improve the technology so passengers wouldn’t have to struggle with sluggish speeds.
Delta currently charges nearly $50 per month for Wi-Fi on its flights within North America and $70 on international flights. It has been testing free Wi-Fi over the past several years, and made messaging free in 2017.
In-flight internet on any airline has been long plagued by complaints for its inconsistent speeds. However, efforts by a host of satellite providers and airlines have helped the technology evolve significantly in the past decade — though it still has some catching up to do to compare to home and office networks.
Delta is the first of the “Big Three” airlines to offer free Wi-Fi: United Airlines and American Airlines
(AAL) both charge varying rates for access. JetBlue
(JBLU) has offered free Wi-Fi since 2017.
The airline is beting that adding free W-Fi could make passengers more loyal to Delta and further grow its loyalty program, which has about 100 million members. In October 2022, Delta partnered with Starbucks
(SBUX) and began awarding 1 mile for every $1 spent at the coffee chain.
Bastian predicted that partnership would add 1 million SkyMiles members within a year. However, Delta ended up adding 1 million new members within two weeks of its launch.
