On 26 May 2010, a Tara Air DHC-6 Twin Otter took off from Birendranagar Airport in Surkhet, heading for Rara Airport with 18 passengers and 3 crew on board. At 10 am, the aircraft had to make an emergency landing at Birendranagar Airport, after its cabin door suddenly opened five minutes after take-off. Tara Air officials said that the cabin attendant managed to lock the door immediately after it opened, to avert any possible mishaps.[8]
On 21 November 2011, a Makalu AirCessna 208B Grand Caravan took off from Surkhet Airport, en route to Rara Airport. Upon touchdown at Rara, the aircraft skidded off the runway and hit a rock, damaging the front of the aircraft—four of the 11 occupants were injured.[3][9]
