A Yeti Airlines aircraft has overshot runway while landing at Bhairahawa Airport on Saturday.
Our Bhairahawa correspondent Madhav Dhungana said the plane with registration number 9N-AIB overshot and came to a rest on a grassy land at some 250 meters from the edge of the runway. All the 32 persons, including three crew members, onboard the British-made Jetstream 41 were unhurt in the incident.

The reason behind the mishap has not been known.

The plane had flown into Bhairahawa from Kathmandu.
