Srilan Airlines on Wednesday praised his pilot for safely led flights from London to Colombo on Monday after a report emerged that a plane from a national aircraft carrier avoided air collisions with British Airways flights above Turkey. National transportation said that the vigilance of pilots and sophisticated communication and supervision systems on the aircraft allowed the safe section for UL 504 on June 13.
Furthermore, Srilankan Airlines praised the on -time action of the pilot operating UL 504, which ensured the safety of all passengers, crew, and equipment above UL 504, said the airline in a statement. Clarification was issued after the media report claimed that UL 504, flew from London to Colombo, avoiding the largest air collision that might be in the air while in Turkish airspace.
The report said the flight carrying 275 passengers had entered Turkey airspace after leaving Heathrow on his way to Colombo. Srilankan flights have been told to rise to 35,000 feet from 33,000 feet they fly.
At that time, Srilankan’s flight detected British Airways flights with more than 250 people on the ship only 15 miles from them flying with a speed of 35,000 feet and gave the air traffic control in Ankara. Pilot Srilankan refused to rise even though it was cleaned twice mistaken by Ankara’s air traffic control.
A few minutes later, air traffic responded immediately, telling Srilankan’s flight not to rise because there were already flights above 35,000 feet, British Airways flights to Dubai. If the Ul Captain rises to the requested height, the UL flight will face a middle collision with British Airways flights, because it flies at speed faster than UL flight, reported the Daily Mirror newspaper.
After landing at the Bandaranaike International Airport here, passengers safely got off the flight with the crew and reports on the incident were submitted, he added.
