A Guwahati-bound private chopper, operated by Skyone Airways, was forced to make an emergency landing in Bhutan on Monday when the pilot noticed a technical fault in the system after take-off from Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh.

With the help of the Air Traffic Control (ATC) in Paro, nearly 50 km away from capital Thimpu, the chopper, Skyone MI-172, landed near Bhutan’s Nganglam helipad. According to reports from Arunachal Pradesh’s civil aviation secretary, all crew and passengers onboard are safe.

More updates awaited.
