The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation intends to conduct an investigation into the dangerous rapprochement of passenger airliners in the Moscow air zone.

Information resource Avia.pro notes that information about a dangerous convergence of two passenger planes appeared the day before, while, according to the source, the distance between two passenger flights, one of which en route from Vladivostok to Moscow, and the other from Moscow to Novy Urengoy was minimal and the resulting danger was really extreme. Nevertheless, representatives of the Federal Air Transport Agency denied this information, referring to the materials at their disposal, indicating that in reality there was no dangerous rapprochement - thanks to timely actions, this situation was avoided.

It is worthwhile to clarify that the system of automatic notification of a dangerous approach is triggered by the extremely close finding of aircraft in the airspace, and if we take into account the source's evidence of the incident, the aircraft approached each other for a distance of 7,5 kilometers, which could have catastrophic consequences already through 30 seconds of flight.
