[edit] Incidents

On January 5, 2007 Frontier Airlines flight 297 from Saint Louis (STL), an Airbus A319 came within 50 feet of Key Lime Air flight 4216 on final approach to runway 35L at Denver International Airport. ^[4]. The pilots of the Frontier flight were able avoid collision with the Key Lime flight, and flight 297 landed safely after aborting the initial landing attempt. Officials from the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the incident as a runway incursion on the part of the Key Lime Air flight, which did not have clearance to be on runway 35L at the time of the incident. Snow was falling and visibility was approximately 1/2 mile at the time of the incident ^[5].
