”We were planning to stop in Baku to refuel. But the flight will not continue today. The airport in Kathmandu is simply full,” Jim Olav Hansen, the rescue mission's representative in Norway, told Norway's Dagbladet newspaper. ”From our point of view, it is sad. For every hour that passes, the hope of finding survivors diminishes.”
AZAL told APA-Economics that the Rescue Team has not made emergency landing in Heydar Aliyev International Airport.
The Norsar team took off from Oslo’s Gardemoen airport on Monday morning and hoped to arrive in Nepal by the evening. The team compromises six rescue dogs, rescue experts from the Oslo fire service, and doctors and nurses from Oslo University Hospital.
The Norwegian team is not the only international rescue team caught out by the lack of space at Kathmandu airport. 15 international teams are waiting for their turn to land.
