Kudos to WN 2504 for the cool handling of that incursion. To the Flexjet pilot, I think the FAA may have a few questions to ask you. The tower told the Flexjet to hold. They did not listen. Not the towers fault.

The pilots of the Flexjet were told by the Air Traffic Controller to "Your instructions were to hold short of runway 31 center". It can't get any clearer than that.

Runway Incursion: This morning Southwest Airlines flight #WN2504 conducted a go around just before touchdown as a FlexJet Challenger crossed the runway downfield. www.flightradar24.com/multiview/20...

"Neste mês, Embraer fechou acordo de US$ 7 bilhões com a Flexjet (empresa americana), um pedido de 182 aeronaves e 30 opções, além de serviços e suporte. É a maior encomenda desse tipo da história da companhia..."

É revoltante que essa jóia quase foi entregue ao inimigo, pelos ditos "patriotas".

Interesting comment here from Flexjet CEO Mike Silvestro, a large Embraer private jet operator, that he would like to see the company look at an aircraft in the ultra-long range category, which would put it direct competition with Bombardier, Gulfstream and Dassault.

On the news today:

Flexjet (a wealth management company that provides partial ownership of aircraft) just announced an increased $7 Billion order for private jets.

This ain't rocket science...

I really can't stress enough how much that SWA crew saved the day. They were in the float, inches from the runway and saw the flexjet, at fast taxi speed, approaching the hold short line. SWA didn't trust the situation and they were on the go before flexjet entered the runway.

Bravo. Seriously.

Yeeessshhhh. Huge shoutout to the Southwest pilots for seeing this happen in front of them and avoiding it.

This is a great demo of how fragile verbal communication over analog radio is. It sounds like an ATC tried to tell Flexjet to hold short one more time, but the transmittion was blocked.

“Tower, Southwest 2504, how’d that happen?”

Here’s how it happened. ADS-B data + ATC audio of today’s runway incursion in Chicago.
