On 8 February 2024, a Boeing 737-900ER taking off from runway 14 at Nassau in accordance with its clearance was instructed to reject its takeoff at high speed. This happened when the controller recognised that a Bombardier CRJ200, which had been on final approach to land on intersecting runway 10 had begun a go-around from low level after not receiving a landing clearance. The report says it appears the tower controller may have become overwhelmed during complex operations when there was no tower supervisor to ensure coordinated tower and approach control functions, due to inadequate manning.
Description
On 8 February 2024, a Boeing 737-900ER (N900DU) operated by Delta Air Lines on a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Nassau to Atlanta as DAL1965 was taking off from runway 14 in day visual meteorological conditions (VMC) as cleared when the tower controller instructed it to reject its takeoff at high speed. This instruction was to avoid conflict with a Bombardier CRJ 200 operated by Canadian charter company Flight Exec as FEX850, which had been inbound to runway 10 but had then commenced a low level go-around after not receiving a landing clearance.
