Minister of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, Sudan Kirati, has clarified that there is no proof that a bird hit the Fly Dubai plane that flew to Dubai on Monday night.

After FlyDubai reported that the plane hit the bird, Minister Kirati said that it was not confirmed.

Keeping the status on the social network, he said, ‘I clarify to everyone that the rumor of a bird hitting the ship has not been proven yet. Please, I have a request to all of us, let us all stop the habit of making negative noises. Before chasing the crow because it has bitten your ear, you should first plug your ear or you will fight.’

The ship’s engine caught fire on Monday night. After the fire was found, the plane was tried to land in Kathmandu, but later the plane landed safely at Dubai International Airport at 12:11 am local time on Tuesday.

Fly Dubai announced through Facebook that the bird was striked on the plane. But there is no evidence of the bird being taken and no debris found anywhere in and around Nepal’s airport.
