An American Airlines flight arriving at Ronald Reagan National Airport was forced to abandon its landing to avoid another aircraft Tuesday, officials said, less than a month after a midair collision killed 67 people near the same airport and roughly 90 minutes before another close call between a passenger plane and a private jet in Chicago.

The incident happened less than two hours before a similar event at Chicago's Midway Airport amid a spate of aviation disasters in North America.

The Federal Aviation Administration says an American Airlines plane arriving at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport discontinued its landing, performing a go-around to avoid getting too close to another aircraft departing from the same runway.
