Canadian plane maker Bombardier said it was sending an air safety investigator to the site, as well as a field service representative. The Nepali pilots of other aircraft are heard warning the ATC that the US-Bangla pilot seems disoriented, according to the Nepali Times. After the plane apparently takes a right orbit, the ATC asks the pilot whether he wants to land on Runway 02 or 20. He was asked to turn right, but immediately after that, the Flight 211 pilot says "Affirmative", that the runway is in sight. The Dhaka-based US-Bangla Airlines is a private carrier that launched in July 2014 with the motto "Fly Fast Fly Safe".
