press statement by JET:
With reference to erroneous media reports about the aversion of a ‘mid-air collision’, Jet Airways would like to clarify that flight 9W 2280 from Delhi to Guwahati- Agartala, of July 21, 2011, for a few seconds experienced 'wake turbulence' during the cruise phase possibly on account of a Boeing 747 aircraft passing overhead in the opposite direction.
The minimum required vertical separation (1000 feet) for crossing traffic was maintained at all times.
The Jet Airways flight was completed uneventfully, landing in Guwahati at 1300 hours.
The airline regrets any inconvenience caused to its guests.
