HONOLULU -- Federal Aviation Administration officials said they are looking into an incident involving two small planes at Honolulu International Airport on Tuesday night.

It happened at about 5:30 p.m.

An air traffic controller cleared a Piper twin-engine plane to land on Runway 4-Left at about the same time a single-engine Cessna was cleared to take off on Runway 4-Right, according to an FAA official.

An air traffic controller noticed the twin-engine plane was approaching on the wrong runway, so he radioed the pilot and told him to abort the landing, according to the FAA.

The FAA would not say if it was a "near-collision," but a source close to the situation told KITV it was very close.
