The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a close call at Boston's Logan Airport Thursday involving a Delta Air Lines flight that was landing and a Cape Air plane that was taking off. Delta Flight 263, with 284 passengers and 11 crew members on board, was originally headed from Paris to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, but was forced to divert to Boston because of weather conditions in the New York area, according to Delta officials. As the Airbus 330-900neo came in for a landing at Logan at about 4:15 p.m. Eastern Time, air traffic control told the flight crew to "go around" to keep a safe distance from a smaller plane that was taking off, according to ATC audio. "Air traffic control instructed Delta Air Lines Flight 263 to perform a go-around at Boston Logan International Airport because Cape Air Flight 548 was cleared to takeoff from an intersecting runway," the FAA said in a statement.
