when one took off without clearance as another landed, federal aviation officials said.
There have been a series of incidents at Logan Airport over the last week, including one where a man allegedly tried to open the door of a plane and attacked a flight attendant. "The FAA is responsible for flight operations and I have already requested a briefing with their officials to get an update on their investigations into how these events occurred and proposed solutions to ensure they do not continue," Congressman Lynch said in a statement.MassPort said two planes bumped into each other at Logan International Airport Monday morning.
"Our union has been calling for a banned passenger list," President of the Association of Flight Attendants Sara Nelson said."If people are acting out violently on the plane, they should not be allowed to fly. And that may be for a period of time, we can determine what that is and due process if this is government run, but this bill is sitting in congress right now.”
The congressional hearing was at 10 a.m. on Wednesday. The FAA will also be holding a safety summit with other aviation experts next week to address the recent issues and concerns.
