Overview
- The UPS Boeing 767, about 125 feet above the runway, was told to go around after a Labcorp jet rolled past the hold‑short bars at 12:10 a.m. Tuesday.
- Tower alarms sounded and a controller radioed “Skylab two five, what are you doing?” before stopping the smaller plane, according to LiveATC audio.
- The hold‑short bars are painted stop lines before a runway, and FlightRadar24 data show the Labcorp aircraft did not enter the runway surface.
- UPS said the go-around followed standard procedure with no operational impact, and the FAA said required separation was maintained and opened a probe.
- The close call follows November’s fatal UPS crash at the same airport, and the NTSB scheduled two days of hearings starting May 19 to examine that accident.
