An Airbus A-320 airplane belonging to Nepal Airlines, which was traveling from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Kathmandu, and an Air India plane en route to Kathmandu from New Delhi nearly collided on Friday morning, he said, reported media.

According to the CAAN spokesperson, the Air India airplane was descending from an altitude of 19,000 ft, while the Nepal Airlines aircraft was flying at 15,000 ft in the same location.

Upon detecting the proximity of the two aircraft on radar, the Nepal Airlines airplane descended to 7,000 ft, he added, the reports said.

In response to the incident, the Civil Aviation Authority has established a three-person committee to investigate the matter.
