FAA to investigate near collision a LAX involving private jet flying Gonzaga basketball team

The Federal Aviation Administration is reportedly investigating a near-collision last week between a commercial passenger jet and a private jet carrying the Gonzaga University men's basketball team.

The private jet almost went across a runway while another flight was taking off at the Los Angeles International Airport, according to ABC 7.

The incident occurred Friday afternoon, and no injuries were reported.

"Air traffic controllers directed Key Lime Air Flight 563 to hold short of crossing a runway at Los Angeles International Airport because a second aircraft was taking off from the runway at the time," the FAA said, according to the news outlet. "When the Embraer E135 jet proceeded to cross the hold bars, air traffic controllers told the pilots to stop. The jet never crossed the runway edge line."

The basketball team was in Los Angeles for a game against the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

The university sent an email saying the school was aware of the situation and will review more information after the investigation is complete. 

Key Lime Air told Los Angeles Magazine the company is "working within our own Safety Management System and with the FAA to determine the facts of the event and will respond accordingly."
