Air Asia and Indigo's flight came close to 300 feet

The incident that took place in the skies of Mumbai on January 29

The traffic controller at Mumbai airport completely ignored the warning given by the system.

New Delhi: On January 29, Air Asia's flight from Ahmedabad to Chennai and IndiGo's flight from Bangalore to Vadodara landed just 300 feet away from each other in the skies of Mumbai and they flew up to 8 km in this condition, according to a report released by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau. Was told.

Probably a factor as to why they're doing so poorly. " Another possible reason may be that the air traffic controller present at the Mumbai airport has already made an assumption of the situation.

Explaining the details of the accident, the report said that all flights from Ahmedabad to cities in South India normally fly over Bhavnagar but on January 29, Air Asia's flight chose the route that is usually used for landing at Mumbai airport, viz. He charted his original route.

The two flights came very close to each other due to the route being chartered by Air Asia and the direct flight coming from the opposite direction of Indigo, although they were flying at different heights.

According to the report, Air Asia's flight was at an altitude of 38396 feet while Indigo's flight was at an altitude of 38000 feet, meaning that the distance between the two was only 396 feet which could be termed as extremely dangerous.
