KATHMANDU, Oct 5: Nepal Airlines Flight RA412, which was on its way from Kathmandu and to Dammam, had to abort its flight due to technical snags. The flight, originating from Tribhuvan International Airport on Wednesday night, made a safe landing back in Kathmandu after approximately an hour of takeoff.

TIA officials confirmed that the aircraft, while flying over the skies near Pakistan, encountered a technical malfunction in its onboard safety system, known as TIKAS, designed to signal potential dangers around the aircraft.
