Thank you for that info. I guess my info was a tad dated. Do you know if AI inherited these A320/321s after the merger or they acquired them separately?

The second incident is reminiscent of the Russian IL76 and Saudia 747 collision many years ago near Delhi. I think the problem then (and now) was the fact that the IL76s still use the metric system for altitude and airspedd and need conversion charts to maintain assigned altitudes.Messy.
