LaGuardia under safety spotlight as near-misses pile up before fatal runway crash
TL;DR
CNN’s review of NASA’s Aviation Safety Reporting System shows a pattern of LaGuardia safety concerns over the past two years, including pilots’ complaints about miscommunications with air traffic control and hazardous ground operations, amid chronic staffing shortfalls and rising operational pressure. The reports come as a fatal collision occurred between an Air Canada Express plane and a firefighting vehicle on LaGuardia’s runway, with other near-misses at the airport cited in the same period.
