The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a narrowly missed midair collision between a United flight and a Delta flight at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on Saturday, the agency said.

The United and Delta flights were less than a quarter of a mile apart horizontally before the warning devices went off, officials say.

A United flight from San Francisco and a Delta flight from Detroit came within 425 feet of each other in the sky, according to flight radar data. NTSB guidelines say planes should always stay at least five miles apart.
