Narrative:
While on duty as the flight supervisor; an individual who works for airport operations came in and asked to speak with the pilot of aircraft X. The PIC was already at the counter so I stated that he was the PIC of aircraft X. The airport operations official said there was a report of him taxiing under the wing [of aircraft Y] who was pushing back on [the] taxiway. The PIC said after landing; tower told him to taxi X and Y to the ramp and stay on frequency. He said he thought it was weird and abnormal to taxi under the wing but felt there was enough clearance so he continued. He also stated that he maintained the right side and would have gone into the grass if he went any further right and would have hit the aircraft's engine if he went any further left. He wrote his statement and gave it to the airport operations official and then called tower to discuss the event. A video was taken clearly showing [the] PIC taxiing under the wing of aircraft Y which I sent to the management and safety department.
