Two IndiGo planes came too close for comfort before averting a mid-air collision at the border airspace of India and Bangladesh, Airports Authority of India (AAI) officials said on Thursday.
The collision was averted after the Air Traffic Control in Kolkata instructed one plane to move away from the other aircraft that had come at the same level on Wednesday.
“One aircraft was going to Guwahati from Chennai and the other from Guwahati to Kolkata. The two planes had come close to each other around 5.10 p.m.,” a senior official of the AAI said.
