Buddha Air has handed over the compensation paid by the two passengers who opened the emergency door of the plane that was about to take off, to Pokhara's Vriddhasram and Janakpur's Mahaganga Aarti Mangasagar.

Buddha Air spokesperson  According to Dipendra Karn, a passenger on the Buddha Air ATR plane flying from Pokhara to Kathmandu on Tarkhar opened the emergency door for no reason.

If the emergency door of an aircraft in flight is open for any reason, such an aircraft cannot be flown without being tested by a technician. The flight at 3 pm left for Kathmandu 3 hours late.  

Those passengers who opened the emergency door for no reason were handed over by Buddha Air to the police at Rohbar of Pokhara Regional Airport. The Civil Aviation (Civil Aviation) Act, 2015 prescribes imprisonment for 1 to 3 years depending on the nature of the offense and up to life imprisonment depending on the nature of the crime.

The passenger who accidentally opened the emergency door had apologized and paid 1 lakh rupees as compensation on the condition that he would not act like this in the future. Buddha's Pokhara station chief Gautam Baral handed over the amount on Thursday for the support of dependent senior citizens at Pokhara Old Age Home at Sitapaila in Pokhara.

Meanwhile, a passenger opened the emergency door in the parking way of the ship which flew from Kathmandu to Janakpur but reached Biratnagar on October 15 due to bad weather. In that incident too, those passengers paid Rs 1 lakh as compensation. Buddha's Janakpur Station Chief Bijayprasad Singh handed over this amount to Mahaganga Aarti Gangasagar in Janakpur on Thursday.
