Nagpur: An IndiGo Bangalore-Nagpur flight with 176 passengers on board and six crew members received a resolution advisory on September 23 morning while it was preparing to land. Resolution advisory is a warning given to aircraft by an inbuilt device called the traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) when two aircraft come too close in the air and are in danger of collision.
The IndiGo flight 6E-435 was on its way to land at Nagpur's Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport when an internationally registered aircraft (no. ATR 72-500), which flew in too close to it, triggered off the resolution advisory. Both, the airline and the Nagpur air traffic control (ATC), confirmed the incident and said that the directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) was investigating the matter.
