FAA is investigating why a plane was allowed to take off as President Trump’s helicopter approached

The FAA is investigating an incident where a commercial plane was allowed to take off as President Trump's helicopter approached Reagan National Airport, potentially violating safety procedures established after a 2025 midair collision. The FAA confirmed a 'momentary loss of separation' occurred, but no collision risk existed, and both the White House and Marine Corps stated there was no danger to the president.
