Aviation Audio Clips / Aborted take off for Delta Airlines at KBNA
« Last post by KB4TEZ on July 17, 2025, 10:25:27 UTC »A Delta Airlines Airbus A321-211 plane (N350DN) was forced to make an emergency stop during takeoff at Nashville International Airport (BNA) after a small aircraft unexpectedly crossed its path on July 10th, 2025.
Delta Flight 2724 headed to Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP), had just been cleared for departure around 10 a.m. when a single-engine Piper Cherokee, which had landed minutes earlier, turned back onto the active runway.
Air traffic controllers quickly ordered the Delta jet to cancel takeoff. The pilot brought the aircraft to a hard stop to avoid further consequences.
This happens to be the second close call at Nashville in under a year. In a similar incident last September, an Alaska Airlines plane was forced to brake hard to avoid a Southwest plane, drawing a federal investigation.
The FAA is investigating the latest the runway incident to ensure further safety measures needed.
