A fatal private jet collision at Scottsdale Airport, Arizona, on Monday afternoon resulted in one death and multiple injuries, according to authorities. The accident occurred when a midsize business jet veered off the runway and crashed into another private jet that was parked on private property.

Collision Details and Response

Scottsdale Airport aviation planning coordinator Kelli Kuester confirmed that the runway has been shut down indefinitely following the crash. The airport, a major hub for private jets, particularly during high-profile sports events, is now under investigation as officials work to determine the cause of the accident.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated that the moving private jet lost control, leading to the collision. Emergency responders immediately rushed to the scene, where they found one fatality and multiple injured passengers.

Injuries and Rescue Efforts

Scottsdale Fire Department Capt. Dave Folio reported that two individuals were transported to trauma centers, while one more remains in stable condition at a local hospital. Emergency crews also worked tirelessly to rescue one person trapped inside one of the aircraft, with Captain Folio stating, “We’re doing everything we can to extricate and save the one soul that’s still on board.”

Impact on Scottsdale Airport Operations

The Scottsdale Airport runway closure is expected to disrupt air traffic in the Phoenix metropolitan area, especially with the Waste Management Phoenix Open golf tournament just miles away. The annual sporting event draws large crowds and private jet traffic, making Scottsdale a bustling aviation hub during this time.

As investigators from the FAA and other agencies work to determine the exact cause of the accident, questions about aviation safety measures and runway conditions are being raised. The airport is expected to remain closed until a full assessment of the crash site is completed.
