Federal aviation officials are investigating an air-safety incident involving President Trump's Marine One helicopter in Washington, D.C. The incident occurred when the helicopter flew too close to a commercial airliner departing from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Tuesday. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) confirmed it is investigating a reported loss of separation event between the two aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated that there was a momentary loss of separation after which the aircraft continued to move away from one another. The FAA had previously placed restrictions on mixed helicopter and jet traffic around the airport following a fatal midair collision in January 2025. Representatives for the FAA and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.
