Amidst increase in aviation accidents, Nepal conducts mock drill

Updated:4 years ago

Kathmandu (Nepal), June 16 (ANI): An emergency mock drill on a plane crash rescue operation was conducted at Tribhuwan International Airport in Nepal’s capital Kathmandu on Wednesday. It was organised in the wake of increasing aviation accidents in the Himalayan Nation which has also been blacklisted by the European Union due to low standard safety rules on the flight. In the simulation conducted on the edge of the airfield, an en-route passenger aircraft with 125 people on board relayed a "may-day" message and busted into flames upon landing. The aircraft quickly got enveloped in a blaze and then an emergency rescue team present at the airport started working just before fire extinguishers were called out. Nepal Army ambulances, Nepal Police and other people present at the airport began to rescue the injured and took them to nearby hospitals in the ambulance as well as helicopter. According to the rule of The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), every internationally recognized airport should conduct a 'full-scale emergency exercise' every two years.
