		</div><p>Two passenger jets came within 700 feet (213 metres) of each other after a mistake by a British air traffic controller, according to a near-miss report.</p>
<p>The error was made by a controller &#8220;during a period of high workload&#8221;, the UK Airprox Board (UKAB) said.</p>
<p>He gave an instruction to increase altitude to a Boeing 737 leaving Stansted Airport, Essex, which was meant for another aircraft from the same airline, the UKAB said.</p>
<p>This caused the former to climb &#8220;into confliction&#8221; with a Boeing 777 approaching the airport, according to the report.</p>
<p>The official minimum separation between the two jets should have been 1,000 feet (305 metres).</p>
