The FAA and NTSB are investigating a runway incursion at JFK Airport in New York late last week. AA106, an American Airlines 777, crossed Runway 4L while a Delta Air Lines 737 was beginning its take off roll. Air traffic control directed DL1943 to stop and the aircraft rejected its take off after reaching a maximum reported speed of 104 knots. AA106 continued its departure a short time later, while DL1943 was delayed overnight. 📼 https://www.flightradar24.com/multiview/2023-01-14/01:44/12x/40.6
