A Yeti Airlines Jetstream 41, registration 9N-AJC performing flight YT-894 from Bhairahawa to Kathmandu (Nepal) with 28 people on board, was accelerating for takeoff from Bhairahawa when the crew decided to reject takeoff at high speed due to a flock of birds on the runway. The aircraft veered off the runway and came to a safe stop off the runway. The passengers disembarked normally.

A replacement aircraft has been dispatched to take the passengers to Kathmandu.

The airline confirmed the runway excursion onto a grassy field during the rejected takeoff due to a flock of birds on the runway. All occupants are safe. The airline denied reports that the aircraft went off the runway due to a burst tyre as widely reported in Nepalese media or broke through a fence as reported by yellow press in the UK.
