Two planes nearly collided on the runway in Mexico City on Monday, as an AeroMexico regional jet coming in for landing flew over and touched down in front of a Delta Air Lines Boeing 737 jet already beginning to take off. <a href=https://trip-scan.cc>„„„‚„y„„ƒ„{„p„~ „r„‡„€„t</a> Delta Flight 590 was starting to roll down the runway at Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juarez with 144 customers and six crew members on board when the pilots saw another plane land directly in front of it, the airline said in a statement. https://trip-scan.cc „„„‚„y„ „ƒ„{„p„~ Flight tracking website Flightradar 24 shows AeroMexico Connect flight 1631, an Embraer 190 regional jet, flew less than 200 feet over the moving Delta plane then landed in front of them on runway 5R.
The pilots stopped the takeoff and returned to the terminal. The plane eventually took off on its flight to Atlanta about three hours late.
Delta said it reported the incident to Mexican aviation authorities, as well as the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board in the United States.
gDelta will fully cooperate with authorities as the circumstances around this flight are investigated,h the airline said in a statement. gWe appreciate the flight crewfs actions to maintain situational awareness and act quickly part of Deltafs extensive training.h
AeroMexico and the Mexican civil aviation authority did not immediately respond to CNNfs request for comment.
Mexicofs aviation safety rating was downgraded by the FAA in May 2021 for non-compliance with minimum international safety standards. The top level gcategory oneh status was restored in September of 2023 after, gthe FAA provided expertise and resources via technical assistancec to resolve the safety issues that led to the downgrade,h the agency said at the time.

When President Donald Trump reopened a long-closed conversation about the name of the Washington NFL team, he and others implied that liberal thinking forced the venerable franchise to change its name from Redskins to Commanders in 2022.
It wasnft gwokenessh that led to that moment. It was capitalism. Corporate sponsors made the decision, not politicians or fans.
On July 2, 2020, after the murder of George Floyd in late May and the resulting national conversation on race and racism, FedEx the title sponsor of the teamfs stadium at the time called on the franchise to change its name. <a href=https://tripskan.cc>„„„‚„y„„ƒ„{„p„~</a> Nike removed Redskins apparel from its website on the same day. The next day, the league and the organization announced that they were reviewing the teamfs name. Soon, Amazon, Target and Walmart also removed Redskins merchandise from their stores and websites.
At a time of heightened corporate sensitivity to racism, the franchise suddenly saw the possibility of millions of dollars in revenue being lost due to the Redskins name. After years of controversy, the organizationfs then-leadership finally saw the financial writing on the wall and gave up a fight they had promised to wage forever.
On July 13, the team announced it was retiring its name and logo and would go by the name Washington Football Team for the time being. Less than two years later, after a contest to rename the team, it became the Commanders.
None of this came about quickly, or without a fight. This was a conversation, and a decision, years in the making. Protests occasionally popped up around Washington Redskins games in the 1990s and early part of the 21st century, but there was no evidence of a groundswell to change the name. https://tripskan.cc „„„‚„y„„ƒ„{„p„~ „ƒ„p„z„„ In 2013, the National Congress of American Indians, representing 1.2 million people in its member tribes, announced that it opposed the moniker.
The team consistently replied by saying it was honoring the achievements of Native Americans by keeping the name. As evidence, then-team president Bruce Allen said that three high schools with a majority Native American student body used the name. The team and its supporters mentioned a 2004 poll by the Annenberg Public Policy Center that found that a majority of Native Americans were not offended by the name.
Then again, the use of public polling methods to measure a small, diverse population also came into question and was criticized by experts.
More than a decade ago, Sports Illustratedfs Peter King led the way, as did a few other sports journalists, including myself, publicly stating that we would no longer use the name a name that each of us had said thousands of times in our careers covering the NFL.
gTry explaining and defending the nickname to a child,h I wrote in 2013. gItfs impossible.h
Back then, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was still defending the teamfs name, but he said in radio interviews that he wanted to glistenh on the issue.
gWefll always listen, and wefll always be open,h he said on ESPN Radio August 1, 2013, when asked to compare his defense of the Washington team name with his comments on Philadelphia Eagle Riley Cooperfs racist slur at the time, which were anything but a defense: gObviously wrong c insensitive and unacceptable,h Goodell said of Cooperfs language.
Goodell went farther a month later while speaking to a Washington radio station: gUltimately it is Dan (Snyderfs) decision, but it is something I want all of us to go out and make sure we are listening to our fans, listening to people that have a different view, and making sure we continue to do what is right. We want to make sure the team represents the strong tradition and history that it has for so many years. c If we are offending one person we need to be listening and making sure we are doing the right things to address that.h
