The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating why a Southwest Airlines plane veered off course and had a close call with an air traffic control tower during an attempted landing at New York\u2019s LaGuardia Airport, CNN<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident happened around 1 p.m. on March 23 when Southwest Flight 147 aborted its first approach to the airport because of bad weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGo around! Go around,\u201d the air traffic controller is heard saying on ATC radio communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cContinue climbing,\u201d the air traffic controller said about 12 seconds later. \u201cYou were \u2014 not on the approach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southwest Airlines said the flight encountered turbulence and low visibility as it approached LaGuardia. The company said it is looking into the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are reviewing the event as part of our Safety systems,\u201d Southwest said in a written statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flight was diverted to Baltimore, where it landed safely, the FAA said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident comes as the FAA has launched several investigations into near-collisions at US airports since last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An expert panel assembled to address the issue identified multiple issues contributing to the incidents, including inconsistent funding, outdated technology, short-staffed air traffic control towers and onerous training requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
