Two IndiGo flights with 328 passengers onboard may have been moments away from a mid-air collision on Tuesday when the pilots on both aircraft took emergency evasive manoeuvers to avoid a disaster.
The near-miss happened when 6E-779 was ordered by Air Traffic Control to climb to 36,000 feet and 6E-505 was asked to climb to 28,000 feet. At one stage of the flight, 6E-779 was at 27,300 feet and 6E-6505 was at just 27,500 feet with both aircraft headed towards each other.
