Who said 2000 Km?
Iberia was flying behind the AF

Positions stated in the "report" (7°N 49°W for Air Comet, 0°N 30°W for AF) plotted on Google Earth gives you a separation of around 2112km with the AF at around 96° to the right of the AC position.
Check it yourself if you don't believe me. And, after all, I can't see anyone leaving Lima and being able to be on the same heading as the AF craft which had left Rio.....
