A Turkish Airlines flight was evacuated after smoke and fire were seen coming from one of its landing gear units after it landed in Nepal, officials said.

All passengers were safely taken off the aircraft and no injuries were reported, according to local authorities. The incident took place after the plane arrived at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu.

Airport officials said emergency crews responded quickly and brought the situation under control. The cause of the landing gear fire was not immediately known.

The aircraft had completed its journey when the problem emerged on the runway area, prompting an evacuation as a precaution. Images and video from the scene showed smoke rising from the wheel area as airport staff and rescue teams moved in.

Turkish Airlines has not yet publicly detailed what caused the fault. The airline is one of Europe’s largest carriers and operates flights to destinations around the world, including South Asia.

Landing gear fires are rare, but they can pose a serious risk because of the heat and fuel systems near the wheels. Aviation authorities often treat such incidents as emergencies and inspect the aircraft before it returns to service.

Officials in Nepal said they were investigating the incident and checking the runway and surrounding area for damage. The airport continued to operate after the aircraft was secured.

The evacuation added to recent concerns about aviation safety at busy international hubs, where any sign of smoke or fire can lead to a rapid response from ground crews. Passengers were later moved away from the aircraft while checks were carried out.

No further details were immediately released about the number of passengers on board or the model of the aircraft. Turkish Airlines was expected to cooperate with the investigation as airport authorities reviewed the cause of the fire.
