AAI terms 54 cases of go-around, near-miss news 'misleading'


New Delhi: As many as 54 incidents reported during the year about aircraft asked to make a go-around or being in a near-miss situation have been found to be "misleading", the Airports Authority of India (AAI) today said.
The state-run airports body, which carries out Air Traffic Control (ATC) operations across the entire country, also termed a recent 'near-miss' incident over the Kolkata- controlled airspace as incorrect.
A probe by Regional Controller of Air Safety (ER & NER), Civil Aviation Department and DGCA, carried out on the basis of the reports found "no such breach of separation" between two Boeing 737--800s last week off the Andhra Pradesh coast.
