Kathmandu: A Jet Airways aircraft landed under emergency conditions on Monday in Kathmandu after it suffered a bird hit. The aircraft was flying from Mumbai and was carrying 125 passengers and six crew members.
The plane, however, made a safe landing at the Tribhuvan International Airport, Jet Airways said.
“Jet Airways flight 9W 268 Mumbai to Kathmandu B737 experienced bird ingestion on approach and continued the flight with an uneventful and safe landing at Kathmandu,” the airline said in a statement.
The airline engineering team is inspecting the aircraft and once satisfied will release aircraft for further operations, it said.
