The plane was en route from Kathmandu to the new airport in Pokhara, Nepal’s second most populous city, 129 kilometers west of the capital, when it crashed to the ground near its destination and was engulfed in flames.
Nepal suffered 67 air accidents in the last 60 years, with the most recent occurring in May 2022 when a plane crashed into a mountain, killing 22 people.
