A flight from Delta Airlines whose left wing hit the runway on the New York City Airport Airport was “a go-around because of an unstable approach,” said the Federal Aviation Authority in a statement, Fox News reported.
De FAA said that there were 76 customers, two pilots and two flight attendants on board the flight when the incident took place on Sunday.
A “Go-Around is a safe, routine maneuver that is carried out to disconnect a pilot or at the request of an air traffic controller,” said the declaration of the FAA spokesperson.
“It stops the landing approach and brings the plane back to a height and configuration to make a different approach safely. The pilot and the air traffic controller are fully instructed about the situation.”
This is a developing story and more information will be added soon.
