Southwest Airlines Flight WN2504 Aborts Landing to Avoid Runway Incursion at Chicago Midway

on

Chicago, IL – February 25, 2025 – A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-800 narrowly avoided a potential runway collision at Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW) after a runway incursion involving a Bombardier Challenger 350.

The incident occurred at approximately 14:48 UTC when Southwest Airlines flight WN2504, arriving from Omaha-Eppley Airfield (OMA), was on final approach to land on runway 31C. As the aircraft was about 500 meters from the intersection, a FlexJet Challenger 350, operating as flight LXJ560, crossed runway 31C while taxiing on runway 04L.

According to ADS-B tracking data, the Challenger 350 crossed the active runway at 14:48:17 UTC, prompting the Boeing 737-800, registered as N8517F, to execute a go-around maneuver. The aircraft, powered by CFMI CFM56-7B engines and manufactured in 2016, aborted its landing and climbed away from the runway without incident.

There were no reported injuries among the passengers or crew of either aircraft. The Boeing 737-800 subsequently made a safe landing following standard go-around procedures. The Bombardier Challenger 350, registered as N560FX, also continued its taxiing operations without further issue.

Preliminary reports indicate that air traffic controllers were managing simultaneous runway operations when the incursion occurred. It remains unclear whether communication errors or pilot misinterpretation played a role.

The FAA is expected to review air traffic control records, cockpit voice recordings, and surveillance footage as part of the investigation. No damage was reported to either aircraft, and Southwest Airlines confirmed that flight operations continued as scheduled following the event.

This incident underscores the critical importance of strict adherence to runway clearance procedures and vigilant coordination between pilots and air traffic controllers to ensure passenger safety.
