A federal judge has scheduled an April 2027 trial for lawsuits stemming from a fatal collision between an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army helicopter that resulted in 67 deaths near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes emphasized the importance of honoring the victims and their families during the hearing. The lawsuits, filed against American Airlines, the U.S. government, and PSA Airlines, follow the deadliest U.S. air disaster in over 20 years, which occurred during the approach of American Eagle Flight 5342.
