NEW YORK — The FAA is investigating after a business jet took off without clearance at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport while a Delta regional flight was about to land on an intersecting runway — forcing the Delta flight to perform a go-around last week.<\/p>\n

It happened on Oct. 7 just before 4 p.m. According to data from Flightradar24, the two aircraft were about 1,000 feet apart at their closest points.<\/p>\n

The Delta regional plane was going about 147 mph before the plane pulled back up and went around and the business jet was going about 103 mph.<\/p>\n

In audio from Air Traffic Control, the controller and the pilot disagree about whether the business jet pilot had clearance to take off.<\/p>\n

“The crew initiated a go-around to ensure safe spacing with a departing aircraft on a nearby runway,” Delta said in a statement to ABC.<\/p>\n

The flight landed safely.<\/p>\n
