The Federal Aviation Administration has launched an investigation into a close call between a Frontier Airlines aircraft and two trucks at Los Angeles International Airport.

The incident occurred on a taxiway at LAX when the passenger-filled Frontier plane came dangerously close to colliding with two ground vehicles. According to the pilots involved in the incident, they were forced to apply emergency braking to avoid a collision.

The near-miss represents the latest in a series of runway and taxiway safety incidents that have drawn increased scrutiny from federal aviation authorities. Ground vehicle operations at major airports typically follow strict protocols to prevent conflicts with aircraft movements.

The FAA's investigation will likely examine communication procedures, ground control protocols, and the positioning of the vehicles at the time of the incident. Both aircraft and ground vehicle operations are carefully coordinated through air traffic control systems to maintain safe separation.

Neither the airline nor airport authorities have released additional details about the specific circumstances that led to the close call. The investigation remains ongoing as federal officials work to determine what factors contributed to the dangerous encounter.
