VOA News - Collision Averted in Mumbai Between Air India Jetliner, Presidential Helicopter Fleet

What do you think about it....Is it only india or these things happen everywhere but go unnoticed.....

I heard something similar in ireland few days ago....

Not only India - ISTR a close encounter between a Puma carrying M Thatcher and a fixed wing at LHR quite a few years ago.

Some difference in the way "VIP-1" traffic is handled in India compared to "Air Force 1" in the USA....remember when Bill Clinton shut down southern California while he got a hair cut.

The haircut was probibly an afterthought, couldn't enjoy a ciggi in a "no smoking" area.:E

Seems like a lot of factual errors in that piece. I can't beleive a helicopter carrying the President was "not in contact with ATC".
Air India does not have A321s.
Finally, VIP 1 is an Indian Air Force 737 and not a 747. The Indian President uses a 747 chartered from Air India for international travel. Domestic travel is undertaken in the Air Force 737.
Notwithstanding all that, a near disaster and a huge scandal averted.

Schumi-Red Baron:
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.
