A potentially hazardous situation occurred near Phoenix involving two flights with the same designation. Normally, these flights operate at different times, but a delay caused them to be in the same airspace simultaneously. Flight-tracking data indicates the planes were in close proximity, with a horizontal distance of about 3 miles and a vertical separation of 2,000 feet.

Further details about this incident are available from NewsChannel 5 WTVF, including the response of air traffic controllers who managed the situation.
