A Delta Air Lines passenger jet aborted takeoff in Mexico City on Monday after its flight crew observed another plane, an Aeromexico Embraer E190, landing in front of it on the same runway. The Boeing 737-800, carrying 144 passengers and crew, was initiating takeoff for Atlanta when the incident occurred. The flight crew safely stopped the takeoff and returned to a gate, then departed for Georgia about three hours later after taking on fuel and consulting with Delta officials. The planes were reportedly 200 feet apart, with the Delta aircraft reaching speeds of about 60 mph before braking. Delta and Aeromexico are cooperating with authorities to investigate the incident.
