UPS jet aborts landing after near-miss at Louisville airport

A UPS Boeing 767 inbound from Atlanta aborted its landing at Louisville, Kentucky, after an unidentified aircraft crossed the runway, producing a near-miss and prompting a radio transmission in which air traffic control shouted, “What are you doing?” The event highlights a dangerous moment on approach at the facility.

The incident occurred at the same airport where a UPS cargo plane crashed months earlier, killing 14 people, underscoring ongoing safety concerns at the airport.

A separate report notes that another UPS flight was forced to abort landing as a different aircraft crossed the runway in Louisville, reinforcing ongoing aviation-safety questions tied to the airport.
