Nepal Airlines on Thursday apologised for posting on social media a route map that showed Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan.
It also appeared to show Ladakh as a part of China.
“The map contained significant cartographic inaccuracies regarding international boundaries that do not reflect the official stance of Nepal or Nepal Airlines,” the flag carrier said on social media.
The airline, which is owned by the Nepali government, said that it had removed the post and was conducting an internal review. “We deeply value our strong relationship with our neighbours and friends in the region and regret any offense the post has caused,” it added.
The airline’s network map posted online on Wednesday also showed countries such as Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan as part of China, The Print reported.
