The flight of Shree Airlines, which had departed from Kathmandu en route to Dhangadhi, had to return to Kathmandu due to an unexpected issue. In the midst of the flight, the aircraft’s door suddenly opened while in the air, prompting the decision to turn back. The plane remained in the air for approximately 30 minutes before landing safely at Kathmandu Airport.
