The Nepalese airline was supposed to fly south to Janakpur from Kathmandu s Tribhuvan International Airport but instead it flew north west to Pokhara in central Nepal There was miscommunication between the ground staff and the pilots, an official from the airline told The Kathmandu Post. The flying pilots also did not look at the passengers’ manifest.
Poor weather conditions meant flights to Pokhara were permitted until 3pm. Buddha Air took action and changed the flight numbers around and transferred the 69 passengers intending to go to Janakpur onto a flight cleared for Pokhara by air traffic controllers.
While everything was in the right order on paper, the ground staff and the flight attendant failed to brief the pilots about the change of flight number and so they flew the plane to Pokhara.
