You guys are missing the point. The bigger problem here is - 1 airline skidding off the runway creates this big of a mess for 2+ days. The backlog created must have had enormous impact for sure and talk about inconvenience for the consumers. Yes, we asked for help from India. So what? Tomorrow - an earthquake strikes in , and we don't have enough volunteers (cos every Nepali will find excuses with less actions, more talk ) , we'd need help from India, heck Bhutan too.

Geography doesn't allow an alternate International airport in KTM, so build it somewhere else where there are open lands. Yes, the madhesi land. May be its time to speed up Gautam Buddha International airport and provide an alternate for International airlines, incase of recurrent or unanticipated airport incidents.
