The Federal Aviation Administration originally launched the investigation after the incident but the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) quickly took over once its team of technical experts reached the scene.

Michael Graham, a member of the NTSB stated during a news conference that one “of the things we would probably most likely be trying to determine is why those aircraft were co-altitude in the same air space at the same time.”
