The Airbus A330 that skidded off the runway on Wednesday morning has been removed from the grass area in the second attempt after replacing the damaged wheels, with the help of Indian Removal Kit.
At a press conference organized in TIA premise in the morning, Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) Director General Ratish Chandra Lal Suman said "With the help of 12 technicians from India, the Nepal Army, the Nepal Police and other professionals, we have been finally able to pull the aircraft into main runway".
The distance between the runway and grassy shoulder where the front landing gear of aircraft collapsed and the plane nose-dived is around 150 meters.
CAAN informed that the measures are underway to locate the aircraft some 700 meters away from main runway to a secured parking area by this afternoon.
Following the clearance of runway, CAAN has informed that the international flights are likely to resume from 2 p.m.local time on Saturday.
