(CNN) Nepali airline Buddha Air made a blunder recently when it flew passengers to the wrong airport.
The domestic airline departed from Kathmandu s Tribhuvan International Airport on December 18. From there it flew northwest to the country s second-biggest city of Pokhara, instead of going southeast to the flight s intended destination, the southern city of Janakpur. The two cities are about 250 miles apart.
Astha Basnet, executive officer at Buddha Air, tells CNN Travel that the mix-up was due to two factors: lapses in communication and failure to follow detailed standard operating procedures (SOP).
