The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating why flights approaching Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport received alerts about other possible aircraft nearby despite none being present in the area. 

In a statement to Fox News Digital, the FAA said several flight crews received the alerts.

The probe comes amid a series of safety incidents and a week after an American Airlines flight arriving at Ronald Reagan airport in Arlington, Virginia, was forced to abort a landing in an effort to avoid another aircraft. 

Investigators are still probing the deadly Jan. 29 midair collision between an American Airlines plane and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport that killed dozens of people. 

Days after that, a Medevac jet crashed in Philadelphia, which left seven dead.

In February, a Delta Air Lines flight crashed while landing in Toronto, flipping upside down. All 80 people on board survived.
