An American Airlines plane performed a go-around to avoid getting too close to another aircraft departing from the same runway, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

An American Airlines flight arriving at Ronald Reagan National Airport was forced to abort its landing to avoid another aircraft Tuesday, officials said, less than a month after a midair collision killed 67 people near the same airport and roughly 90 minutes before a close call between a passenger plane and a private jet in Chicago.

In recent weeks, North America has seen four major plane accidents. These include a commuter plane crash in Alaska on February 6, which claimed all 10 lives on board, and a mid-air collision on January 26 between an Army helicopter and an American Airlines flight at National Airport,
