✈️ Close Call at Chicago Midway Airport: Southwest Plane Forced into Go-Around

A near-miss incident occurred earlier this morning at Midway Airport (MDW) in Chicago, Illinois, when a Southwest Airlines aircraft (SWA2504, N8517F) was forced into a last-second go-around to avoid a collision with a private jet (LXJ560, N560FX) taxiing across the runway.

🔹 Incident Details:
• SWA2504 was on final approach when LXJ560 crossed the active runway, forcing the Southwest jet to abort its landing.
• The aircraft was just feet from the ground before executing the go-around.
• No injuries or damage were reported, and the Southwest flight landed safely on its second approach.

The FAA is expected to review the incident as part of its ongoing focus on airport runway safety following several recent close calls.
