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.
Turkish Airlines has suspended flights to 23 cities, citing fuel disruptions and the knock-on effects of ongoing war-related conditions. Multiple routes are paused temporarily, with some expected to resume later this year or even in 2025. A few destinations are fully closed due to safety concerns, leaving travelers urged to verify live flight updates.
