IC-814 had many firsts to its credit. It was the first international flight to have been hijacked in over half a century of civil aviation history in Nepal (there was a hijacking of a small domestic aircraft in the Panchayat period). The taking of the Indian airlines Kathmandu-Delhi flight also became the first incident of its kind in the history of international aviation which led to the suspension of all flights by a commercial airline to the 'culpable' country.
