Helicopter Carrying Trump Flies Near Passenger Jet in Washington Airspace

Marine One, the military helicopter transporting President Donald Trump, came within less than a mile of an Envoy Air passenger jet near Ronald Reagan National Airport on Tuesday. This incident was caused by communication problems that delayed air traffic coordination. The close call has raised significant new concerns regarding air traffic control within the congested Washington airspace, emphasizing the risks associated with managing military and commercial flight paths in this highly active area.
