A Nepal Airlines aircraft made an emergency landing at Tribhuvan International Airport after being hit by a bird immediately after take-off.
Security sources at the airport confirmed the incident and said that the aircraft safely made it back to the airport’s runway without any further incidents. The plane was flying to Hong Kong.
There were over 100 passengers and crew members on board the Airbus A320.
NAC has arranged for another plane to fly the passengers to the destination. Several aircrafts flying out were delayed while other flying in were put on a hold before NAC’s plane landed.
