May 23: An aircraft of Jazeera Airways that met with disturbances while landing at the Gautam Buddha International Airport in Bhairahawa on Monday is suspected to have been hit by a bird.

A bird may have collided with the aircraft at 1:45 am on Monday,” the state-owned national news agency RSS reported quoting the chief of Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) at the airport, Prabesh Adhikari.    
As a result, the aircraft has been grounded at the airport and is rescheduling its flight, said Adhikari.  

"The plane landed successfully but we suspect bird strike as blood stains can be seen on the surface of the plane. However, the dead bird has not been found. A technical team will check whether it has been sucked into the plane engine," he further told RSS.     
According to Adhikari, further investigations are underway.    
The flight of the aircraft was rescheduled following the incident. Jazeera Airways has managed accommodation for its passengers in a hotel. Thirty eight passengers had booked tickets for Bhairahawa-Kuwait flight, according to the airport authorities.
