About

A commission appointed by the government of Nepal investigated the accident and concluded that the probable cause of the crash was pilot disorientation and a loss of situational awareness of the flight crew. The report was criticized by the airline and by the Bangladeshi representative on the commission, who felt that the air traffic controllers at Tribhuvan International Airport did not do their job properly and could have prevented the accident.
