'Pay attention' - Spirit aircraft warned as it gets too close to Air Force One

A Spirit Airlines flight was warned by air traffic controllers to "pay attention" and "turn away" after coming too close to Air Force One carrying President Donald Trump. The Spirit pilot was told to "Get off the iPad" as the aircraft flew parallel to Air Force One over New York. While the planes were never classified as unsafe by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the incident was enough to alarm officials. Safety remains a top priority for Spirit Airlines, as stated by a company spokesperson in response to the incident.
