A helicopter flying from Lukla to Kathmandu had to make an emergency landing in Sanga after colliding with a bird.
A senior official from Heli Everest, the company that owns the 9N-AKG helicopter, confirmed that a bird struck the aircraft, forcing the pilot to make a safe landing to avoid further risks.
“There seems to be no damage to the aircraft, and the helicopter is being prepared for another flight,” the official stated.
According to airport sources, there were six passengers and the pilot on board the helicopter at the time of the incident.
