Despite taking off from Kathmandu this morning, five mountain flights were diverted to other airports due to low visibility. Thick fog affected flights at Tribhuvan International Airport, disrupting operations since early Thursday.
According to the airport office, flights are currently operating under IFR (Instrument Flight Rules), causing delays in aircraft management.
Many scheduled flights were affected, with some aircraft circling before being allowed to land.
Among the diverted flights, two Buddha Air mountain flights were redirected to Bhairahawa and one to Janakpur. Similarly, one mountain flight each from Yeti Airlines and Shree Airlines was diverted to Bhairahawa.
