Nepal lets off Delhi-bound private plane

KATHMANDU: Nepal on Tuesday allowed a Delhi-bound private aircraft, which had violated its airspace, to take off saying the crew had made a mistake by entering its territory.

The EMB-135 aircraft and all those on board were allowed to go as there was no suspicious intention involved in their entering the Nepalese territory, Civil Aviation authorities said. It was just a mistake on the part of crew, an official said.

The authorities on Monday forced the chartered jet plane to land at the Tribhuvan International Airport after it entered the Nepalese territory without permission.

The aircraft had a total of eight people on board, including two Indians.
