A plane of Nepal's Yeti Air, flying to Pokhara from Kathmandu with 68 passengers onboard crashed, reports NDTV.
The 9N ANC ATR72 aircraft involved in the Pokhara air crash had 68 passengers who had left Kathmandu a while ago. Besides, there were four crew members led by Captain Kamal KC, reports Nepali news outlet Online Khabar.
The company's spokesperson Sudarshan Bartaula said efforts are underway to douse the fire caused by the Pokhara plane crash.
Plane crashes in Nepal are very common. Not only domestic flights crash but also foreign ones killing hundreds of people. Nepal has also had several serious aviation disasters in recent years.
Over the last 30 years, there have been nearly 30 fatal plane crashes in Nepal, the most recent–before the Pokhara plane crash today–being a Tara Air crash, in May 2022, killing 22 people on board.
