Kathmandu, Nov 8 (PTI) Flight operations were temporarily suspended at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport after problems occurred in the runway's lighting system on Saturday.

The problem, which occurred at about 5:30 pm, was resolved about four hours later and the operations at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) started at 10:00 pm (local time).

Take offs and landings for both domestic and international flights were affected due to the electrical problem. “After more than four hours of maintenance work, the problem was fixed,” an airport staffer said.

Two domestic and three international flights were diverted due to the problem. Qatar Airways flight was diverted to Dhaka, Korean Air to Delhi and Fly Dubai to Lucknow, according to TIA spokesperson Rinji Sherpa.
