Buddha Air forms internal probe panel to find out the cause of flight error

 Buddha Air has formed an internal investigation committee to find out the cause of flight error that occurred on Friday.

The private airline – issuing a press note – confirmed said that the committee has been formed to study the cause of the event of misinformation that led to an aircraft land at Pokhara instead of Janakpur. “We are alert to not let mistakes like that happen in the future,” the press note reads, adding that the airline will submit the report to the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN).

A Buddha Air aircraft with passengers headed to Janakpur had landed at Pokhara Airport on Friday afternoon. After landing at the airport, the aircraft was loaded with fuel and allowed to fly to its original destination Janakpur via Kathmandu.

According to the airlines, all the passengers were safely brought to their original destination. However, the mistake has raised a serious air safety and security issue.
