Heli Everest helicopter identified as 9N-AKG faced an emergency landing following a bird strike during its flight from Lukla to Kathmandu.

Leasing services company LCI Aviation has ordered up to six H175 super-medium helicopters from Airbus, valued at over $125m. The deal follows confirmation of a resurgence in super-medium and heavy helicopter activity earlier this month from consultancy Air & Sea Analytics.
