KATHMANDU: Shree Airlines' morning flight to Surkhet was unexpectedly diverted off the runway and back into the parking lot. The flight was due to take off from Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). The plane was hauled back to the end of the runway, having already exceeded takeoff altitude at 7:30 a.m.
Passengers on board expressed confusion and concern over the sudden turn of events. Initially, airline staff informed them that the diversion was due to technical reasons. However, Anil Manandhar, the Manager of Shree Airlines, later clarified that the decision to turn back was not related to any technical issues. Instead, the flight was diverted due to a dispute among a few passengers.
