Oct 4, Kathamndu -Buddha Air has stated that the landing gear of the ship was not opened due to technical problems while landing in Biratnagar.

Submitting an internal report to the Nepal Civil Aviation Authority on Monday, Buddha Air claimed that no technical problem was seen on the plane.

The report states that the secondary indicator, which shows the landing gear open on the ship, has clearly worked and the crew has not followed the protocol prescribed in case the primary indicator is dim. The report concludes that this happened when the crew relied heavily on external sources.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal is also investigating the case. During the internal investigation, Buddha Air has imposed a temporary ban on the crew of the ship, which is still flying.
