At least one dead after 2 jets collide on runway at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona
At least one person is dead after two jets collided on the runway at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona on Monday afternoon, according to reports.
The accident happened just before 3 p.m. when a Learjet 35A “veered off the runway after landing,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.

It collided with a Gulfstream 200 parked at a nearby ramp, according to AZ Family.
“We do not know how many people were on board. The FAA is temporarily pausing flights into the airport,” the agency added.
Three people were injured in the accident, with two being taken to trauma centers and one in stable condition, Scottsdale Fire Department Captain Dave Folio told reporters, according to the US Sun.
“We are still working on extricating one soul out of one of the airplanes,” he added, explaining that the runway remained an active rescue site.
Images from the runway showed a jet on the tarmac without landing gear alongside the other plane, as emergency vehicles and personnel stood nearby.
The Learjet was flying in from Austin and is registered to a business called Chromed in Hollywood out of Wyoming.
The crash comes as a spate of airport accidents and air incidents in recent weeks – some terrifyingly fatal – have left travelers across the country on edge.
On Jan. 29, 67 people were killed when a US Army helicopter and an American Airlines jet collided in the air at Reagan National Airport in Washington, DC.

Then two days later, a jet carrying six people plummeted into a busy Philadelphia street and exploded, killing all six people onboard and one person on the ground.
And that weekend, an outage with the FAA’s Notice to Air Missions system – which provides crucial information about hazards – went down for a night.
The next week, a taxiing Japan Airlines plane struck the tail of a Delta jet while it was parked at Seattle-Tacoma Airport in Washington. Nobody was hurt in that incident.
