KATMANDU, Nepal/ An Indian jetliner caught fire while landing in Nepal’s capital on Saturday, but there were no casualties reported among the 170 people on board, officials said.
The right wheels of the Airbus 320 caught fire while landing in Katmandu after a flight from the Indian capital of New Delhi, said Rishikesh Sharma, head of Tribhuwan International Airport.
As the plane was landing, passengers complained of a “rubber burning-like smell,” said Nepalese businessman Satish Shrestha, who was aboard the flight, which was operated by budget airline Indigo.
