Indiza ebandakanyeka kulesi sigameko yakhiwe ngabakwa-ATR ezinze eFrance, kanti izinjini zayo zenziwa ngabakwaPratt & Whitney Canada.

Umbiko wophenyo uhlonze izici ezihlukahlukene ezibe nomthelela ekuphahlazekeni, okuhlanganisa ukuqeqeshwa okunganele kwezobuchwepheshe, umsebenzi omningi nokucindezeleka okuhlobene nokusebenza esikhumulweni sezindiza esisha, nokungalandelwa kwezinqubo ezijwayelekile zokusebenza. Ukwengeza, abasebenzi bageja izinkomba endaweni yendiza kanye nenjini ephakamisa ukuthi womabili ophephela babenezimpaphe.

Ngaphandle kwalokhu kutholwe, umbiko ukuqinisekisile ukunakekelwa okufanele kwendiza, ukungabibikho kweziphambeko ezaziwayo, kanye nokufaneleka kwabasebenzi basejele ngokuhambisana nemithetho ye-Nepal Civil Aviation Authority.

Indiza ibishayelwa ngu-Anju Khatiwada, nowake waqeqeshelwa kabanzi umshayeli wendiza e-United States kulandela ukushona komyeni wakhe engozini yendiza ngo-2006 ngesikhathi endizela yona le nkampani.
