Airport general manager Birendra Shrestha said all 227 passengers on board flight TK 726 are safe. "There are no human casualties."
All passengers and crew were rescued from the emergency exit after the nose cone of the plane touched the runway when landing at 8 a.m..
Officials said the plane touched the runway in poor visibility conditions.
