If you’re a nervous flyer, then this could be the airline for you. Nepal Airlines wasn’t content to just fix the technical problems on one of their Boeing 757 jets, they got old school and sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god right in front of the plane. That is a whole new level of commitment to service. Any guesses on what the main in-flight course was? Next time Delta delays you for technical reasons, tell them they’re going to have to wack at least one goat to get you to move.  The goats were sacrificed in front of the troublesome aircraft on Sunday at Nepal's only international airport in Kathmandu in accordance with Hindu traditions, an official said.
"The snag in the plane has now been fixed and the aircraft has resumed its flights," said Raju K C, a senior airline official, without explaining what the problem had been.
