(Marco Bello\/Reuters)<br \/>\n  <\/figure>\n<p>This year, there have been numerous near-miss incidents reported at airports across the country. In January, a Delta Air Lines Boeing 737 and an American Airlines Boeing 777 narrowly avoided a collision at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. In Austin, Texas, a FedEx cargo plane came within 100 feet of crashing into a Southwest Airlines airliner while carrying 131 passengers and crew. In March, two United Airlines planes collided on the runway at Boston&#8217;s Logan International Airport, causing flight rescheduling. Another collision occurred at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in April.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FAA is starting monthly training for air traffic controllers, following a recent multi-million dollar investment to prevent near-misses.
