    What: Yemenia Airbus A330-200 en route from Djibouti to Moroni Comoros
    Air Austral Boeing 777-200 en route from Lyon to Saint Denis
    Where: Moroni, Comoros
    When: Aug 24 2010
    Who: 350 passengers aboard the Boeing
    Why: Both flights were in the air, the Airbus flying at a higher altitude. The Airbus unexpectedly descended without ATC clearance.

    The Boeing received a TCAS resolution advisory, to which they immediately responded, averting a collision.

    George’s Point of View

    I am reminded of the sad and tragic events of June 30, 2009, when Air Yemenia failed to make a safe landing and killed everyone aboard but Bahia Bakari.

    Confusion again reigns in Moroni, Comoros airspace. I am grateful for the successful TCAS resolution/response. Apologies if the date is in error, as we find different dates published for this averted catastrophe.
