Boston — The FAA will yet again be investigating a close call between planes at Boston Logan International Airport after a flight had to cancel its takeoff.

The close call was between an American Airlines flight and a Spirit Airlines flight at Logan early Monday afternoon, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

“An air traffic controller instructed American Airlines Flight 457Q to cancel its takeoff at Boston Logan International Airport after the controller noticed Spirit Airlines Flight 1444 coming close to the runway hold line,” the FAA said in a statement.

“The controller canceled the takeoff clearance for the American Airlines Boeing 737 out of an abundance of caution,” the FAA added. “The FAA is investigating the incident that occurred around 12:50 p.m. local time on Monday, Aug. 14.”

The American Airlines flight was traveling from Boston to Chicago. The plane returned to the Logan gate after the nixed takeoff.

The flight later departed at 2:38 p.m. on Monday.

“The safety of our customers and team members is our top priority and we apologize for the delay in our customer’s travel plans,” American Airlines said in a statement.

Spirit Airlines did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A Massport spokesperson did not comment about the incident, and told a Herald reporter to reach out to the FAA.

This incident at Boston Logan International Airport comes after the feds investigated a close call between a JetBlue flight and a Learjet earlier this year.

The pilot of the Learjet took off without clearance and almost collided with the JetBlue flight, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. The pilot of a Hop-A-Jet flight, Learjet 60, took off without clearance while a JetBlue flight was preparing to land on an intersecting runway.

As the Learjet started to takeoff without clearance, the JetBlue pilot abruptly performed a go-around to avoid a collision. The JetBlue plane, which had been cleared to land, passed about 400 feet above the Learjet.
