Two Planes Nearly Collide at Chicago Midway Airport as Pilot Fails to Adhere to Six-Word Command

A recent near-miss at Chicago Midway Airport raised serious safety concerns. Audio from LiveATC.net captured confusion between a Flexjet pilot and ground control. The controller gave clear instructions, but the pilot misheard and continued on the wrong path. A Southwest Airlines pilot, sensing danger, initiated a go-around to avoid a collision.

Despite repeated warnings, the Flexjet pilot delayed compliance. The situation was resolved only after the pilot finally acknowledged the correct position. The Southwest pilot then asked, “How did that happen?”

The FAA and NTSB are investigating. Southwest confirmed its crew acted to prevent a collision, prioritizing passenger and employee safety. Flexjet is also conducting its own review.

Runway incursions are increasing, with 1,574 incidents in 2021 and an annual average of 1,749. This event highlights growing concerns over air traffic safety.

The incident comes as Southwest Airlines cuts 1,750 corporate jobs to improve efficiency. Experts urge better pilot training and stricter protocols to prevent future accidents.
