Pakistan: Two PIA planes escape mid-air collision

Islamabad, July 26 (UNI) Two planes belonging to the Pakistan International Airlines flying on the same route narrowly avoided a mid-air collision in Iranian airspace, Geo News reported on Tuesday.
According to reports both the planes were at the same altitude near the United Arab Emirates (UAE) border when they witnessed an extraordinary situation that could have resulted in a major air accident due to the alleged negligence of the Iranian air traffic control (ATC), as the ATC reportedly cleared the altitude for two airliners to fly at the same time.
The publication cited sources as saying that a PIA Boeing 777 was en route Dubai from Islamabad while the other, Airbus A320, was flying from Doha to Peshawar, with Captain Athar Haroon and Captain Samiullah in the driving seat.
