A Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul to Kathmandu reported tyre fires as it landed at Tribhuvan International Airport in Nepal. Emergency teams evacuated all 278 passengers and 11 crew members safely using the aircraft’s emergency doors. Reports describe flames on the right landing gear, and investigators are still examining the cause, with no official statement from the airline or airport yet.

The incident happened during a flight from Chengdu, and passengers safely disembarked after about a 30-minute delay. The airline offered 300 yuan compensation to delayed travelers and said it was reviewing procedures to prevent a repeat.
