A Southwest plane almost collided with a private jet as it was landing at Chicago’s Midway International airport.

The Southwest Boing 737-8H4 had departed from Omaha, Nebraska, on Tuesday morning.

Footage of the terrifying moment shows flight 2504 aborting its landing as the Flexjet aircraft was entering its path.

The Southwest pilot performed a quick go-around after briefly touching down on the runway in order to avoid a catastrophe. 

The Flexjet plane, a Bombardier Challenger 3500, was heading to Knoxville, Tennessee, before the near collision.

No one was injured in the incident and the Southwest plane landed safety in Chicago after the incident.

‘The crew followed safety procedures and the flight landed without incident,’ a Southwest spokesperson told CNN.

‘Nothing is more important to Southwest than the safety of our customers and employees.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to Southwest Airlines for comment on this story.  

The close call comes just days after two planes shockingly collided in midair at Arizona’s Marana Airport last week, killing two.

The NTSB, which is investigating the collision, said that the two aircraft involved were a Cessna 172S and a Lancair 360 MK II, which collided while ‘upwind of runway 12,’ one of two runways at the small regional airport.

The FAA said that Marana Regional Airport, which is located outside Tucson, is an uncontrolled airfield, meaning it does not have an operating air traffic control tower.

The incident also comes after a Delta plane almost collided with a private jet at Los Angeles airport in December.

The chartered Embraer E135 jet was carrying the Gonzaga University men’s basketball team, and had just landed from Spokane, Washington.

It comes after 67 people died after an American Airlines passenger plane collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter in Washington DC last month

The jet was about to cross the runway when controllers noticed the Delta plane hurtling down the path and frantically told the Embraer to halt. 

There have been four serious aviation incidents in North America just this year.

Sixty-seven people died after an American Airlines passenger plane collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter in Washington DC last month. 

The victims included teen figure skaters returning from a national meet with their mothers and coaches, an Ohio college student coming from her grandfather’s funeral, two Chinese nationals and a group of hunters headed back from a guided trip in Kansas.
