A military helicopter carrying President Donald Trump came into proximity with a departing passenger jet at Reagan Washington National Airport on Tuesday, prompting an FAA statement on a momentary loss of separation. The NTSB is investigating the event, which follows a January 2025 midair collision that killed 67 people and led to restrictions on mixed helicopter and jet traffic. Verified reports confirm the FAA issued its statement on Wednesday, while claims about required flight halts remain at lower verification levels.
