KATHMANDU, April 30: An Air India plane that came to Kathmandu from New Delhi in India has overshoot. The plane overshoot shortly before it was about to land at Tribhuvan International Airport.

According to airport spokesperson Teknath Sitaula, the Air India plane was overshot due to 'unstable approaches'.

"The plane has overshoot without matching the approach, sometimes it happens without matching the 'approach profile', even when the plane is coming at high altitude," he said.

According to the airport, the overshoot plane circles and returns in around 20 minutes. Approaching Kathmandu Airport should be done from above Simara. International planes land at Kathmandu International Airport from the skies over Simara.
