# US probes near miss between Southwest Airlines jet and helicopter

> The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is investigating a near miss between a Southwest Airlines jet and a helicopter near Cleveland International Airport on October 29. The incident occurred as Southwest Flight 1333 was landing from Baltimore, leading the pilot to abort the landing due to a loss of separation. This investigation follows a previous fatal collision involving an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army helicopter that killed 67 people.

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Sunday it is sending a team to investigate an October 29 close call between a Southwest Airlines jet and helicopter near Cleveland International Airport in Ohio.

The NTSB said the two aircraft experienced a loss of separation - meaning they came closer to each other than the required minimum safe distance - when Southwest Flight 1333 was making its final approach on a flight from Baltimore. This prompted the Southwest pilot to abort the landing. Southwest said the Boeing 737 landed safely a short time later.

A mid-air collision between an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army helicopter on January 29 killed 67 people near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport outside the U.S. capital and caused alarm about close calls between commercial airplanes and helicopters.
