From Charkhi Dadri to Air India Ahmedabad-London Plane Crash: India’s Worst Aviation Disasters
- A mid-air collision near Delhi, India, between a Saudi Arabian passenger plane and Kazakhstan Airlines Flight 1907 on a November day in 1996 resulted in the loss of all passengers and crew aboard both aircraft.
- The collision resulted from the Kazakh pilots descending below their assigned altitude due to language barriers and crew inattention despite controller instructions to maintain separation.
- The Lahoti Commission found that inadequate English comprehension and a casual crew attitude caused the unauthorized descent that led to the fatal collision.
- The crash claimed 349 lives, and the Court of Inquiry stated the single air corridor at Delhi did not contribute to the accident, highlighting pilot error as key.
- This disaster remains India's deadliest mid-air collision, prompting changes in aviation communication protocols and air traffic management to improve flight safety.
