Pesawat PSA Airlines Bertabrakan dengan Helikopter Dekat Washington, 100 Penerbangan Dibatalkan
SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Administrasi Penerbangan Federal Amerika Serikat (FAA) pada Kamis mengonfirmasi bahwa sebuah jet PSA Airlines bertabrakan dengan helikopter Sikorsky H-60 saat mendekati Bandara Nasional Reagan di dekat Washington, DC.
Akibat insiden tersebut, lebih dari 100 penerbangan di bandara mengalami pembatalan atau penundaan pada Rabu malam (29/1), menurut data dari portal FlightAware.com. Tercatat, 62 penerbangan dibatalkan, sementara 59 lainnya mengalami keterlambatan.
Presiden AS Donald Trump menanggapi insiden ini dengan menyatakan bahwa tabrakan antara pesawat dan helikopter milik Angkatan Darat AS di Bandara Nasional Reagan (DCA) seharusnya bisa dicegah.
"Pesawat itu berada di jalur penerbangan rutin dan dalam kondisi sempurna saat mendekati bandara. Helikopter tersebut terbang lurus menuju pesawat dalam waktu cukup lama. Kondisi malam cukup terang, lampu pesawat menyala, jadi mengapa helikopter itu tidak naik, turun, atau berbelok?" tulis Trump di platform media sosial Truth Social.
"Mengapa menara pengawas tidak memberikan instruksi yang jelas kepada helikopter, alih-alih hanya menanyakan apakah mereka melihat pesawat tersebut? Ini adalah situasi yang buruk dan tampaknya bisa dicegah. TIDAK BAIK!!!" tambahnya.
Sementara itu, Menteri Pertahanan AS Pete Hegseth sebelumnya mengumumkan bahwa Angkatan Darat dan Departemen Pertahanan AS telah memulai penyelidikan terkait tabrakan tersebut.
"Investigasi segera dilakukan oleh Angkatan Darat dan Departemen Pertahanan," tulis Hegseth di media sosial X.
