The Southwest flight was just inches from the ground when the pilots throttled up and climbed skyward to avoid the business jet. Seconds later, the Southwest plane flew over the business jet at an approximate altitude of 250 feet, according to preliminary flight data.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>An audio recording from air traffic control shows that the private plane had been cleared to cross one runway, but hold at another. The pilot of the private jet repeated the instructions to the tower incorrectly, and was corrected by the tower. The pilot then repeated the instructions correctly. About 30 seconds later, the Southwest pilot can be heard saying they are &#8220;going around.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Southwest Airlines confirmed the incident, telling CBS News that the crew of the Boeing 737 Max8 performed a &#8220;precautionary go-around to avoid a possible conflict with another aircraft that entered the runway.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to preliminary data from tracking site\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/data\/flights\/lxj560\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">flightradar24.com<\/a>, the business jet was a FlexJet Bombardier Challenger bound for Knoxville, Tennessee. A Flexjet spokesperson told CBS News that they are &#8220;aware of the occurrence&#8221; and &#8220;working to gather more information on this situation.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Federal Aviation Administration said the business jet had &#8220;entered the runway without authorization.&#8221; The incident is under investigation, the FAA said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" alt=\"Aerial View Of Midway Airport \" height=\"465\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/25\/3008a4a6-3fc6-45cd-abbb-c9f976fcf322\/thumbnail\/620x465\/8c98d60ef6394431f19baa89b4384ffb\/gettyimages-694437704.jpg?v=8530dec12e70cec71e9990a5fbc34391 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/25\/3008a4a6-3fc6-45cd-abbb-c9f976fcf322\/thumbnail\/1240x930\/fcf2b3616dab290bcbaad57d2078c97f\/gettyimages-694437704.jpg?v=8530dec12e70cec71e9990a5fbc34391 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">Aerial view looking northeast at the runways of Midway Airport with the city skyline visible in the far distance, Chicago, Illinois, May 30, 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Gregory Potter\/Interim Archives\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Southwest flight was coming from Omaha, Nebraska.

In 2024, the rate of serious runway incursions decreased from a high in 2023, dropping from .4 per one million airport operations to .124 per million operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are multiple layers of defense that generally keep our aviation system safe,&#8221; said former National Transportation Safety Board chair and CBS News transportation safety analyst Robert Sumwalt. &#8220;However, once again, we are seeing cases like this where those defenses are being bypassed and we have a close call.\u00a0 Fortunately, the final layer of defense \u2014 the eyes and actions of the Southwest pilots \u2014 kept this event from being a serious accident.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \"\/><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/kerry-breen\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Kerry Breen<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Kerry Breen is a news editor at CBSNews.com.
