An American Airlines flight and a Delta Air Lines flight came close to colliding Saturday morning, according to the FAA, which said it is investigating the incident.

A Delta Air Lines flight from Dallas had to execute a go-around, or aborted landing, to avoid an American Airlines plane departing from an intersecting runway, according to the FAA and flight logs.

A spokesperson for Delta said the crew of Delta flight 2351, an Airbus A319, coordinated with air traffic control to perform the go-around, an airline spokesperson said.

The plane, which had 129 passengers and six crew members on board, landed safely and deplaned normally, according to the spokesperson.

Data from Flightradar24, a flight-tracking website, showed the Delta flight aborted its landing approach as American Airlines Flight 3161, bound for Charlotte, departed from an intersecting runway, The New York Times reported.

The two planes were only a few hundred feet apart, the New York Times said, citing Flightradar24.

American Airlines and the airport referred requests for comment to the FAA.

Go-arounds are safe, routine procedures performed at the discretion of the pilot or air traffic controllers, according to the FAA.

The close call comes on the heels of multiple aviation accidents in recent days.

On Saturday a founder of a gaming company was killed in a plane crash in France. Earlier this week a business jet crashed in Laredo, Texas, killing one person on board.

A B-52 crashed Monday during a test flight at Edwards Air Force Base in California and killed all eight people aboard. And last Sunday 12 people were killed when a plane on a skydiving outing in Missouri crashed.
