US President Donald Trump has called for the suspension of the pilot’s license of the plane that nearly collided with a Southwest Airlines flight at Chicago airport.
The statement comes after a Southwest Airlines flight narrowly avoided a collision with a private jet at Chicago’s Midway International Airport on Tuesday.
Videos showing the Southwest plane taking off while a smaller Flexjet aircraft moved across the same runway have since surfaced on social media.
Reacting to the incident in a post on his Truth Social, Trump praised the Southwest Airlines pilots for doing a great job in avoiding a collision with another plane.
However, the US President suggested that the pilots of the other plane must have been sleeping, calling for the suspension of their license.
He said: “Great job by the Southwest pilots in Chicago. A nearly tragic close call. Perhaps suspend the pilot’s license of the other plane, who must have been ‘sleeping!’”
