FAA Takes Action to Avoid Danger After Close Calls

On March 19, 2025, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released a set of air traffic control features aimed at reducing runway incursions and improving safety at airports across the United States.

Known as the Surface Safety Portfolio, presents three innovative technologies, resulting in the Runway Incursion Device as the last component of this accelerated effort. The rollout arrives as air travel recovers to pre-pandemic levels, highlighting near misses that have unsettled both passengers and authorities in 2025.

This recent development comes after events such as a near miss in Chicago, where a Southwest Airlines jet and a Flexjet aircraft barely escaped a serious situation. The FAA is focusing on enhancing runway safety by providing controllers and pilots with improved tools to avoid collisions, similar to the incident investigated at Reagan National Airport by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) earlier this year.

The FAA’s decision comes as a direct reaction to a series of noteworthy incidents that have heightened public concern. Recently in Chicago, air traffic controllers worked quickly to prevent a collision, while at Reagan National, two planes nearly collided on overlapping runways. The incidents in 2025 have intensified demands for advanced safety measures as the number of passengers continues to increase.

High-Tech Tools for Busy American Runways

The Runway Incursion Device, detects and warns of runway disputes before they occur. It is also the foundation of the Surface Safety Portfolio. Equipped with two more technologies the FAA has not disclosed, the program aims to modernise air traffic control.
The FAA has not established a timeframe, but officials say significant airports are already using the technology and will spread quickly. This tech-driven strategy may prevent the next near miss.
