An American Airlines flight operated by PSA Airlines was involved in a midair collision with a military helicopter on Wednesday night near Washington, D.C.
An FAA statement said a PSA Airlines regional jet collided midair with a Sikorsky helicopter. Here’s what to know about the airline.
The American Airlines’ subsidiary has ties that go back decades in Ohio, and just said it was moving its headquarters to Charlotte.
American Airlines CEO Robert Isom shared a letter to all employees sharing updates and resources following the deadly mid-air collision.
An American Airlines regional jet went down in the Potomac River near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
American Airlines CEO Robert Isom said that Flight 5342 was on a normal approach to Reagan National Airport and that “we don’t know why the military aircraft came into the path of the PSA aircraft,” one of the many questions the Fort Worth-based carrier is asking in the wake of the tragedy that took 67 lives.
Officials say a PSA Airline passenger airliner and an Army helicopter collided Wednesday night in Washington, D.C. Here's what we know about the airliner's Ohio ties.
“A PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet collided in midair with a Sikorsky H-60 helicopter while on approach to Runway 33 at Reagan Washington National Airport around 9 p.m. local time,” the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a statement.
A family with Georgia ties is grieving after learning their loved one was one of the pilots killed in the crash between a small American Airlines plane and a military helicopter crash near Reagan National Airport.
Investigators plan to push forward on Friday with efforts to retrieve the two aircraft involved in a crash in Washington that killed 67 people and raised questions about air safety in the U.S. capital.
The names of some of the plane crash victims have started to emerge overnight, including a 12-year-old figure skater and a university professor. Meanwhile, black boxes have been recovered from the airliner and tests are being carried out in a laboratory.
