Donald Trump's helicopter has had a fly-by with a commercial airliner in Washington.

A U.S. presidential helicopter, Marine One, flew within less than a mile of a commercial passenger flight operated by Envo airline near Washington’s National Airport on Tuesday. The close encounter prompted a review by aviation authorities to assess the circumstances and determine if there was a temporary reduction in the required separation between aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed this occurred, while authorities are examining air traffic coordination in the area, which includes commercial flights, military aircraft, and presidential movements. This incident occurs in a region under heightened scrutiny due to previous safety concerns, including a fatal collision between a Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines flight in January 2025 that killed 67 people.
