Investing.com -- The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is set to make an urgent safety recommendation on Tuesday, according to a Reuters report on Tuesday. This comes in response to a fatal mid-air collision that occurred in January, which resulted in the death of 67 people. The incident took place at Washington Reagan National Airport when two runways were in use simultaneously for helicopter operations.

The NTSB’s move aims to prevent similar accidents in the future by making changes to operational procedures at the airport. The recommendation will address the use of multiple runways for helicopter operations at the same time.

The January collision was a tragic event that highlighted potential safety issues with current procedures at the airport. The NTSB’s forthcoming recommendation is expected to provide guidelines to enhance safety and prevent such incidents from recurring.
