* [[1996 Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision]] accident over [[New Delhi]]
* 1999 Lambourne near-collision, involving a [[Boeing 737 Classic#737-300|Boeing 737-300]] and a [[Gulfstream IV]]. The airspace above [[Lambourne]] is the waiting zone for [[Heathrow Airport|Heathrow]]. The event is notable as both planes entered the zone from different directions leading to an imminent head-on collision (one o'clock position). The traffic advisory (amber mark) almost immediately turned into a resolution advisory (red mark) with a projected time for collision of less than 25 seconds.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gov.uk/aaib-reports/boeing-737-300-d-abek-and-gulfstream-iv-n77sw-26-february-1999|title=Boeing 737-300, D-ABEK and Gulfstream IV, N77SW, 26 February 1999|publisher=[[Air Accidents Investigation Branch]]|archive-url=https://uploadweb.wikimediaarchive.org/wikipediaweb/commons20180807000000/0https:/07/Boeing_737www.gov.uk/aaib-reports/boeing-737-300%2C_D-ABEK_and_Gulfstream_IV%2C_N77SW%2C_26_February_1999.pdfd-abek-and-gulfstream-iv-n77sw-26-february-1999|url-status=live|archive-date=2018-08-07}} [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Boeing_737-300%2C_D-ABEK_and_Gulfstream_IV%2C_N77SW%2C_26_February_1999.pdf Alt URL]</ref>
* [[2001 Japan Airlines mid-air incident]], in which the Captain of Japan Airlines Flight 907 (a [[Boeing 747-400]]), 40-year old Makoto Watanabe ({{langx|ja|渡辺 誠|translit=Watanabe Makoto|label=none}}), chose to descend, ordered by the air traffic controller, when TCAS told the flight crew to climb, nearly colliding with the descending JAL Flight 958 [[McDonnell Douglas DC-10|DC-10]] en route from [[Gimhae International Airport|Busan]] to Tokyo's [[Narita International Airport|Narita Airport]].
* [[2002 Überlingen mid-air collision]], between a [[Boeing 757]] and a [[Tupolev Tu-154]], where the Tupolev pilots declined to follow their TCAS resolution advisory (RA), instead following the directions of the air traffic controller, while the Boeing pilots followed their TCAS-RA, having no ATC instruction.
