Recall of 2015 Incident in Dense Fog

Turkish Airlines flight TK726 caught fire on right landing gear during landing at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu on May 11, 2026.
278 passengers and 11 crew members evacuated safely via emergency doors after fire erupted during final descent.
Emergency crews contained fire while Nepal's main aviation hub was shut down to investigate and clear the only available runway.
No injuries reported, including several United Nations officials, following successful evacuation.
Incident mirrors 2015 Turkish Airlines accident where aircraft skidded off runway in dense fog, causing four-day closure.
