Federal authorities are investigating after two planes appeared to veer too close for comfort over Syracuse Monday, according to dashcam video captured from a distance.
The pair of planes appeared to be on a collision course when watched with the naked eye at around 11:50 a.m. as one aircraft was taking off and the other was preparing to land at Hancock International Airport, according to video captured by the North Syracuse Police Department and obtained by Inside Edition.
The two planes ultimately flew right past each other and safely completed their trips.
A shocked local police officer seen on video watching from the ground pointed to the two planes as she tried to get the attention of another cop.
The planes came about 700 to 1,000 feet from each other vertically, according to ABC 7, which cited FlightRadar24. It’s unclear how close they were horizontally.
PSA Airlines Flight 5511 was landing while the departing flight was from Endeavor Air, which is a Delta subsidiary, the Federal Aviation Administration.
“An air traffic controller instructed PSA Airlines Flight 5511 to go around at Syracuse Hancock International Airport to keep it separated from an aircraft that was departing on the same runway,” an FAA spokesperson said in an email.
The FAA is investigating, the spokesperson said.
A Delta rep told The Post, “Endeavor Air and Delta will work with aviation authorities as we always do in our shared commitment to safety above all else.”
An email to PSA was not immediately returned on Tuesday.
