The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have launched an investigation, after two planes collided at Scottsdale municipal airport, Arizona on February 10, 2025.
The accident resulted in one fatality and left four others injured, confirmed Dave Folio, a spokesperson for the Scottsdale Fire Department.
At around 2:45 pm local time a Bombardier Learjet 35A veered off the airport’s runway, crashing into a parked Gulfstream 200 aircraft.
The FAA confirmed that four people were on board the Learjet and one person was on board the Gulfstream aircraft.
In under three weeks, the NTSB has launched investigations into three fatal plane crashes across the US.
On January 29, a collision involving an American Airlines passenger jet and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter in Washington, D.C took the lives of 67 people, a medical jet crash on February 1, in Philadelphia killed seven and a plane crash in Alaska resulted in ten fatalities on February 6, 2025.
The NTSB will lead this investigation and will provide all necessary updates.
