A private jet carrying the Gonzaga University men’s basketball team nearly collided with another aircraft that was taking off at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). 

On December 27, 2024, at around 16:30 local time, air traffic controllers instructed the chartered Embraer E135 jet, operated by Key Lime Air, to stop before crossing runway 24L at LAX, because Delta flight 471 was taking off from that runway at the time, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). 

Air traffic controllers stopped the Embraer E135 as it was about to cross the runway. The aircraft did not go past the runway edge line.
