Indian aid arrives to remove Turkish jet from Kathmandu airport Punjab Update Bureau | March 5, 2015 | Kathmandu: An Indian Air Force C-130J Super Hercules transport plane carrying an aircraft removal kit landed in Kathmandu`s Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) on Thursday to help remove a Turkish Airlines Airbus A-330 that skidded off the runway on Wednesday. Nepal request to India to send the special aircraft to remove the Turkish plane from the runway to pave the way for resumption of international flights in and out of Kathmandu. Nepal does not have a crane and airline removal kit of the size required for the task, said Ratindra Lal Suman, general manager of the Nepal Civil Aviation Authority. "Such a heavy crane and airline removal kit is available in India and Thailand, so we made the request to India," he said. The special Indian aircraft will remove the Turkish airline from the runway to clear the way for resuming international flights that have been stalled since Wednesday morning. Turkish Airlines on Wednesday urged the Indian Air Force to send in its aircraft to remove the crashed jet. According to an official, Teknath Sitoula, the rescue team has started repairing the tyres of the Turkish jet to ease the removal process, which is likely to take five hours. The total weight of the Turkish plane is 250,000 kg. As a result of the accident, TIA has been shut down on Thursday and all international flights have been cancelled till 5 p.m. The passenger jet had skidded off the runway and veered onto the grassy shoulder while landing at the TIA on Wednesday morning. The flight from Istanbul was carrying 224 people when it ploughed into the grassland on the left side of the runway at Kathmandu`s fog-covered airport at 7.45 a.m. https://www.punjabupdate.com/i...

If Indians cant get it done Turkey will get other country involved. No one is doing favor to Nepal. Turkish airlines is paying and Indian Govt is trying to cash in. No need to thank anyone or to feel owed by someone. Its just business people!! Here are the solutions: Call 50,000 local gorkheys and pull that thing away from the runway with a rope and steel cable. Chop the wing and body part in pieces and make a way for other planes to land. Or just invite the whole kathmandu basi to take what they want from the plane....the whole plane should be gone by overnight. Last edited: 06-Mar-15 09:28 PM

दुर्घटनाग्रस्त टर्किस विमान पार्किङमा, विमानस्थल साढे सात बजेदेखि खुला चौविसै घन्टा सुचारू टर्किस एयरलाइन्सको विमानलाई पार्किङमा राखेपछि अहिले साढे सात बजेदेखि त्रिभुवन अन्तराष्ट्रिय विमानस्थलमा उडान सुचारू हुने भएको छ। यसअघि पटक-पटक गरी साँझ ६ बजेसम्मका लागि बन्द गरिएको विमानस्थल राति १२ बजेसम्मका लागि पनि लम्ब्याइएको थियो। यद्यपी विमान पार्किङमा राखिएकाले अब एयरपोर्टमा कुनै अवरोध नभएको विमानस्थलका प्रबन्धक पूर्ण चुडालले जानकारी दिए। चार दिनदेखि अवरुद्ध त्रिभुवन अन्तराष्ट्रिय विमानस्थल खुलेपछि चौबिसै घण्टा सञ्चालन गरिने भएको छ । करिब ५/६ फिट गहिरो खाल्डोमा भासिएको विमानको अगाडिको भाग विशेष ब्लाडरले उचालेर जहाजलाई १०० मिटर पछाडि तानेर रनवेमा पुर्याइएको थियो। शनिबार दिउँसो विमानस्थलले पत्रकारहरुलाई पहिलो पटक घटनास्थलसम्म पुर्याएको थियो। विमान भासिएको खाल्डो पुरीसकिएको छ भने जहाजको अघिल्लो भागलाई एउटा ट्रकमा राखिएको छ। विमानले क्षति पुर्याएका रनवेका लाइट लगायतका अन्य प्राविधिक कुरा सबै मर्मत सम्भार गरिसकेको विमानस्थलका प्रबन्धक पूर्ण चुडालले जानकारी दिए। ‘अब जहाजलाई पार्किङस्थलसम्म लिनमात्रै बाँकी हो‘, चुडालले भने ‘त्यसपछि विमानस्थलको नियमित सेावा सुरु हुन्छ।‘ एयरवसका अधिकारी आजै आउने दुर्घटनाग्रस्त टर्किस एयरलाइन्सको विमान निर्माता कम्पनी एयरबसका अधिकारी घटनाका बारेमा बुझ्न आजै काठमाडौं आउने बताइएको छ। उनीहरुले जहाजमा कुनै प्राविधिक कमजोरी भए नभएको अनुसन्धान गर्ने छन्। दुर्घटनाको कारण एकिन नभएपनि जहाज रनवेको बिचबाट नभई बायाँसाइडबाट ल्याण्डिङ भएको र बायाँ चक्का घाँसेमैदानमा पसेपछि विमानको भार त्यति ढल्केकाले विमान अघिल्लो भागपनि घाँसे मैदानमा भासिएको देखिएको विमानस्थल स्रोतले जनाएको छ। http://youtu.be/-cIsVwPhGR4 Last edited: 07-Mar-15 08:05 AM
