Laser Strikes-Aircraft

FILE - A Skywest Airlines aircraft is guided on the tarmac at Barkley Regional Airport in Paducah, Ky., Dec. 27, 2017. Laser strikes aimed at aircraft are at an all-time high. That's according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA said Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2024 that it received about 13,300 reports of lasers aimed at aircraft — including airliners — last year. That's a record and a 41% increase over the previous year. FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker says pointing a laser at a plane puts everyone on the plane and on the ground at risk. Authorities blame the surge in laser incidents on factors including the widespread sale of inexpensive lasers in stores and online.
