ATC Error In Boston Leads To Near-Miss Between Delta And Cape Air Aircraft

On Thursday, a Delta Air Lines service from Paris, when landing in Boston, had a close call with a Cape Air aircraft taking off from an intersecting runway, which resulted in Delta having to perform a go-around. While this incident has resulted in the FAA launching an investigation, the data, along with statements made by the FAA, indicate that both aircraft involved had the relevant clearances for taking off and landing.
