The Federal Aviation Administration has launched an investigation
after two commercial airplanes narrowly avoided a collision at John
F. Kennedy International Airport on Friday, a spokesperson confirmed
to CNBC.

The FAA said a Boeing 737 operated by Delta Air Lines stopped its
takeoff around 8:45 p.m. when air traffic controllers noticed another
American Airlines aircraft crossing the runway. The Delta flight
"stopped its takeoff roll approximately 1,000 feet" from the point
where the American Airlines Boeing 777 had crossed, according to the
FAA's preliminary analysis.

The agency told CNBC the information is subject to change.

The National Transportation Safety Board said in a tweet Sunday that
it is also investigating the incident.

Flight watcher @xJonNYC noticed the near miss and shared audio of the
tense air traffic control exchange on Twitter Saturday.

"Delta 1943 cancel takeoff plans! Delta 1943 cancel takeoff plans!"
one person can be heard saying.

"Rejecting," another person responds.

A representative for Delta Air Lines said Flight 1943 was heading to
the Dominican Republic, but after the aircraft stopped on the runway,
it returned to the gate and customers deplaned.

The flight was delayed overnight due to crew resources and departed
the next morning.

"The safety of our customers and crew is always Delta's number one
priority," the representative said in a statement. "Delta will work
with and assist aviation authorities on a full review of flight 1943
on Jan. 13 regarding a successful aborted takeoff procedure at New
York-JFK. We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience and
delay of their travels."

A spokesperson for American Airlines said the company will defer to
the FAA for comment.
