The country’s sole international airport has faced the first instance of lasers aimed at one of the Nepal Airlines aircraft when the NAC pilots were conducting a final approach to the Tribhuvan International Airport.
According to an official at the air traffic control tower, green lasers targeted the 9N-AKW flight from the vicinity of Koteshwor-Jadibuti area on Friday evening.
The incident occurred when an Airbus 320 returning from Bangkok with 142 passengers on board was preparing to land at the TIA at around 7:30 pm, he said. “It’s the first reported instance of lasers aimed at aircraft at TIA,” the senior ATC officer added.
The narrow-body jet was piloted by Captain Deepu Raj Jwarchan when the laser pointers were directed at NAC’s plane, a source at the national flag carrier claimed.
