Pinnacle Airlines CRJ-200 Aborts Landing at Cincinnati, Plane Blocking Runway
Delta Regional Pinnacle CRJ-200
A Pinnacle Airlines flight had to abort its landing at Cincinnati Airport on Saturday when another plane had not cleared the runway.
NBC News reports:
‘Delta Connection Flight 3972 from St. Louis had been cleared for landing Saturday evening at Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport, said Pinnacle Airlines spokesperson Joe Williams.
Air traffic control directed pilots of the CRJ-200 jet to “go around” and return for a landing, Williams said. The plane landed safety and without incident at 7:32 p.m. ET.’
There were 49 passengers on board and no injuries were reported.

I canot believethat with the thousands off flights daily in the Uniteddj States that a “g around” would make news.
A well control go around can be s normal as a touch and go.
I thought that is what this site is about, some of us find these articles and the following discussions interesting.

In no way am I belittling this site. I too wait for each piece of aviation news. I have been associated in some facet of aviation since 1948 so maybe I have not neessaary seen it all but much of it.
I did not mean to harm any oponions.
Was there an incursion report? The fly-around story is more or less routine acknowledgement that the ATCT had an aircraft cleared to land and sent it around because the runway was in use. The bad thing is, it was routine. The FAA ATCTs too often allow insufficient intervals between operations, being concerned with efficient runway use as much as or more than safety.
