Serbian air traffic authorities have stated that a plane from Paris to Sofia almost collided with an El Al jet flying from Tel Aviv to New York over Serbia on Monday.
ABC News cited the Serbian Directorate for Civil Aviation says an Air France Airbus A318 and an Israeli El Al Boeing 777 missed each other Monday after the French airliner stopped its descent under orders from Serbian air controllers.
The statement says an investigation has shown that the French jet was on an unauthorized flight course. It says the French jet was instructed to fly at 10 650 meters but was 91 meters further down toward the Israeli jet, which was flying at 10,346 meters.
