A significant safety concern arose on Tuesday when a Spirit Airlines plane came dangerously close to Air Force One, the Boeing 747 carrying US President Donald Trump, while navigating the busy airspace near New York en route to London. Air traffic controllers repeatedly and urgently instructed the pilots of Spirit Airlines flight 1300 to alter their course, preventing a potential collision above Long Island. Spirit Flight 1300, an Airbus A321 aircraft, was traveling from Fort Lauderdale to Boston when the incident occurred. The controller, noticing the similar altitudes and converging flight paths, took immediate action to avert a possible mid-air incident.
