A JetBlue Airbus A320 climbing out of Curaçao and a U.S. Air Force aircraft came dangerously close to each other while cruising at approximately 34,000 feet — a near-miss that has raised serious questions about aircraft visibility, transponder use, and airspace coordination.

In this video, Captain Steeeve breaks down what we know so far, analyzes the pilot and ATC communications, and explains how aircraft separation works at high altitude. We’ll also talk about why military aircraft sometimes operate differently than commercial airliners, how traffic awareness systems protect crews, and what likely prevented this from becoming a midair collision.
