We’ve all seen people push four-wheeled light vehicles. But a different scene was seen at Kolti airport on Wednesday, with passengers pushing an airplane.

A passenger plane was flying over the skies of Kolti Airport, attempting to land and pick up passengers in the northeastern part of the district. Passengers began arriving at the airport, but the plane was unable to land at the airport.

The passengers were confused when the ship could not land. Passengers started discussing  the reason for the plane not landing when a passenger noticed a plane parked in the middle of the airport. The plane belonged to Tara Airlines. The flying plane was unable to land as another plane was in the middle of the runway. The plane landed only after the passengers pushed Tara Air’s 9N AVE off the runway.

The video and photo of Tara Airlines being on the runway with a flat tire and a passenger pushing the plane has gone viral. According to Khagendra Khadka, a passenger going to Dhangadhi from Kolti, the plane’s tire burst on the runway.

Tara Air is a sister company of Yeti Airlines. The plane had landed at Bajura Airport from Simkot in Humla. It is said that the rear tire burst after it reached the taxiway from the runway. When Khagendra Khadka called the Kolti airport to find out about this, he could not get in touch, he said.
