Busy skies fuel fears of mid-air collision
http://www.telegraphindia.com/1070416/asp/calcutta/story_7652927.asp
Over the past 15 months, there could have been at least eight mid-air collisions over Calcutta, according to the directorate-general of civil aviation (DGCA). That is, eight pairs of planes came within 2,000 feet of each other in air, which constitutes a near-miss in aviation terminology. |
