(Reuters) -A federal judge on Tuesday set an April 2027 trial date for lawsuits over the collision this year between an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army helicopter that killed 67 people near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes in Washington set the date at a hearing with lawyers for victims and defendants including American Airlines and the U.S. government. American Airlines, the Federal Aviation Administration and the U.S. Army did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
