45 seconds apart, 2 IndiGo planes saved from mid-air collision
Two IndiGo planes came within 45 seconds of a possible mid-air collision at the India-Bangladesh border airspace on Wednesday. The Bangladesh ATC had instructed a Guwahati-Kolkata flight to descend to 35,000 feet after which it came at the same level as the Chennai-Guwahati flight. The Kolkata ATC then immediately ordered the Chennai-Guwahati flight to turn right, thus averting a disaster.
