Mr. Bjorn Aage Myrer Hund was on his expedition towards Pangpuche peak when avalanche fell and he fractured his leg.
We immediately took off from Lukla on our B3 without delay and rescued him from Pangpuche Base Camp to Kathmandu. Pangpuche is in Manasulu region, north east of Samdo. Captain Deepak and our newest additional crew Captain Maurizio Folini (from Italy) were flying the machine.
We wish him the earliest recovery.

Ms. Lotte Suveri from Canada and her friend Yonathan Zoof from Isarel were on their trek to the incredible Everest Base Camp when she experienced altitude sickness and could continue no further than Pheriche (14,000ft). They decided to call for rescue as she was getting worse healthwise.
Our very own VT-DCB (B3) was flown by Capt. Dutt from Kathmandu to Pheriche from where they were rescued to the capital. The ambulance that was waiting for her immediately drove her for proper medical attention.

Mr. Buddha Sherchan suffered from heart attack on the morning of 28th Feb 2012 at Lete (2438m) and we were immediately called for rescue. AJI (B3) took off from Kathmandu without further delay on a rescue mission.
He along with his family members was then flown directly to Neuro Hospital, Basbari, Kathmandu as he seemed in a very critical condition. He was received by the hospital personnel.
Best wishes to Mr. Sherchan and his family for the earliest recovery.
Lete is a village development committee in the Mustang district of Nepal. It’s a scenic place from where you can see from this place- Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri and Annapurna.

Our helicopter AJI (AS350B3) was enroute from Humla to Kathmandu when a passenger gave birth to a child inside the helicopter.
Captain Steven was flying from Humla (Darma VDC) headed for Kathmandu after picking up Mr. Aasbireey Aidi and his wife Mrs. Kamala Aidi who had been expecting a child. Kamala gave birth to a baby boy on board just before touchdown. After landing she was helped by a medic crew and immediately transported to the hospital.
This was the second baby born on board. Previously, Mrs. Roshani Acharya had also given birth to a child on the 14th of February 2010 on board our helicopter.
Congratulations to the couple and Fishtail Air wishes for the child’s safe and sound health.

Our German friend was rescued this morning from Shyabrubesi – Langtang region.
She was seriously injured with multiple fractures on her arm and ribs. AIK (AS350B) flew there from Kathmandu airport immediately after the call for rescue and she was in Kathmandu within less than half an hour from where she was transported to a hospital for proper medical treatment.
We wish her the earliest recovery.
Mr. Tobias Warzek was rescued from Ama Dablam Base Camp this morning.
The three friends Hannes Grobeer, Tobias Warzek and Hardus Amon from Austria were on their expedition tour around the Everest region-Mera Peak, Island Peak and Ama Dablam when Tobias unfortunately experienced a frost bite on his right foot and couldn’t walk further. As soon as Fishtail air was notified of the rescue AIK (AS350B) was flown from Kathmandu to Syangboche initially and thereafter to Ama Dablam Base camp where they were all waiting for the chopper to have him safe and given immediate medical attention.
They were flown to Kathmandu where he shall receive necessary treatment.
We wish him the earliest recovery and that he can soon walk again and feel the earth.

We wish her the earliest recovery.

Our AS 350 B3 carried out a rescue flight this morning from Hilsa (10700ft).
Mr. Prakash Tamang met with an unfortunate accident on his motorbike close to the Chinese border and fractured both his legs. The medical attention he was receiving at Hilsa was going to prove futile unless he travelled to the capital.
As soon as Fishtail Air was notified of the rescue needed, Captain Deepak flew our B3 directly from Kathmandu Airport to Simikot and then to Hilsa. Prakash was flown to Kathmandu and given proper medical care.
We wish that his legs get better soon and that he can feel mother earth on his feet again.

Mrs. Doma Lama was rescued this morning from Mugu Gaon (~12500ft).
She was critically ill and considering the remote area she was residing in, she had very less options of medical help. Capt. Ashish flew the B3 from Kathmandu early today directly for Mugu Gaon. She was immediately flown to Kathmandu for proper medical attention. Mrs. Lama was accompanied by her family members.
Fishtail Air wishes her the earliest recovery.
