A Southwest Airlines jet aborted a landing at Chicago's Midway Airport after an "unauthorized" FlexJet business jet taxied across an active runway. 

Video of the incident involving Southwest Flight 2504 and the FlexJet private jet was posted on X via Airport Webcams. The video shows the pilots of the 737-800 in the flare phase of the landing when the FlexJet private jet cuts across the runway. The 737 pilots acted quickly and aborted the landing with full thrust in a nose-up attitude for a straight-out departure. 

The Federal Aviation Administration released a statement indicating the incident occurred around 0830 local time when a business jet "entered the runway without authorization."
