A Civil Aviation Authority official has been suspended after two Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) aircraft came at a dangerous distance due to negligence.

The two aircraft were in Karachi airport’s airspace when they were a mere 1,000 feet apart from each other.

Per details, one aircraft was taking off and the other was landing when they ‘nearly’ crashed but luckily the incident was avoided.

Blaming the incident on an official’s negligence, the DG Civil Aviation Authority has reportedly suspended the official on shift at the time.
