Two aircraft registered and operated by UAE based airlines, which were under the control of Dubai Departure ATC, responded to
Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) Resolution Advisory (RA) warnings generated by their onboard TCAS systems and both aircraft took collision avoidance action. Both airline crews responded as required and their actions avoided any mishap. Both aircraft continued
their journey to their intended destinations uneventfully.
There were no reports of injury to the passengers or crew, or damage to the aircraft.
The Air Accident Investigation Sector (AAIS) determined that the cause of this Serious Incident was the loss of minimum separation (AIRPROX) between the two aircraft, which were following instructions provided by ATC.
Contributing factors were: the structure of the airspace, the lack of alert provided to the ATCO of the imminent loss of separation, lack of a structured handover briefing between the two ATCOs, and the ATC clearance issued to the aircraft.
