No one has been hurt, but federal authorities are investigating an unusual cluster of airline incidents. The FAA will convene an industry safety summit and review internal incident data after a recent spate of near-misses involving airliners.
As the FAA announced the review, the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday it was investigating a third close call in recent weeks involving a large jet. The board said it was probing a Jan. 23 incident in which a United Airlines Boeing 777 crossed a runway at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu while a small Cessna was landing.
Last week, members of the House Transportation Committee voiced concerns that the agency had been too slow to act on long-standing safety issues and management problems. For Nolen, taking fresh steps on safety sends a signal that the FAA can still move forward on pressing issues until a leader is confirmed.
