A Southwest plane and a private jet nearly collided at Chicago Midway Airport Tuesday morning, according to reports.

Southwest Airlines Flight 2504 was forced to abort landing and pull back up into the air after the private jet rolled across its runway “without authorization,” the FAA told The Post.

Alarming footage from the incident showed the Southwest plane come within feet of touching down, while just yards ahead, the private Challenger 350 jet began to roll across its path.

Southwest Flight 2504 – a Boeing 737 – pulled sharply up to avoid what would have been a catastrophic collision.

Control tower audio obtained by Flightradar 24 captured the private jet, FlexJet Flight 560, being clearly advised to hold short of the airport’s central runway – and even acknowledging the directions moments before it continued on into danger.

“Flexjet 560 hold short! Flexjet 560!” the control tower called to the aircraft as it rolled into the path of the fast-approaching Southwest plane.

“Flexjet 560 your instructions were to hold short of runway 31 center,” the tower said after danger was narrowly avoided.

The private jet’s pilot sounded calm when replying throughout the interaction – but the Southwest pilot was evidently not pleased.

“Tower, Southwest 2504, how’d that happen?” Flight 2504’s pilot called to the tower, but received no reply.

The Southwest plane circled the airport, and then landed about 10 minutes later, data from FlightAware showed.

It had departed from Omaha, Nebraska, that morning, while the private plane left for Knoxville, Tennessee, a few minutes after the incident.

Nobody was hurt in the close call, according to Southwest.

“The crew followed safety procedures and the flight landed without incident,” the airline told CNN.

“Nothing is more important to Southwest than the safety of our customers and employees.”

A spokesperson for the airport wildly claimed to Fox News it wasn’t a “near collision.”

The FAA is investigating the incident.

It comes as a spate of airline accidents have grabbed headlines in recent weeks.

In late January, 67 people were killed after a US Army helicopter collided with a landing American Airlines plane near Reagan National Airport in Washington, DC.

Days later, seven people were killed and dozens injured when an ambulance jet dropped from the sky and exploded in a ball of fire on a busy Philadelphia street.

And just last week, passengers on a Delta Airlines flight narrowly avoided death when their plane crash landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport on February 17 – a crash which left the plane upside down and engulfed in flames.
