Nationwide. So no more midairs anywhere in the USA? There were two more in 2025 in the US after the one this thread is about. Three in the US in 2024. Two in 2022.
The last midair for 2025 was at an uncontrolled airport with no radar or ATC, so not a similar occurrence, except for the midair collision part.
Is there a similar reluctance to use weather radar screens, that people will be staring at them and nothing else?
Some major U.S. airlines already have ADS-B In installed on aircraft. American Airlines added the system to its more than 300 Airbus A321 aircraft starting in 2019, as a way to improve safety and air-traffic efficiency, the carrier said. The airline is working to roll out the technology on its fleet of about 400 Boeing 737s.
All new United Airlines wide-body aircraft come with the system installed, and a company spokesman said the carrier was examining how to roll it out on other jets.
Are United and American Airlines wrong to do this?
