New Delhi: Aviation regulator DGCA is studying air traffic control (ATC) tapes as part of its probe into a "near miss" incident at Delhi airport between a GoAir aircraft and an Indian Air Force plane, sources said today.
"We are probing the incident. Until we thoroughly go through the ATC tapes and all related records, we can't take any action," a senior DGCA official told PTI when asked whether any action was being taken against anyone for the said lapse.
The incident happened at around 2 P.M. Yesterday when a GoAir Airbus A-320, on its way to Mumbai with over 100 people on board, had to abort take-off moments after its pilots saw an IAF plane crossing the runway to go towards the technical area of the airport.
The GoAir flight had got the go-ahead from the air traffic controller and was preparing to take off when the pilots spotted the IAF plane on the same runway.
