CNN —Six people have died in a helicopter crash in Nepal, a spokesperson for Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport said Tuesday. The Manang Air helicopter was carrying five Mexican passengers and a Nepali pilot, Teknath Sitoula told CNN. It added that locals and police who reached the crash site found the bodies of all on board. It will take some time because it means traveling by road from the crash site and then flying to Kathmandu,” Sitoula told CNN. In January, at least 68 people were killed when an aircraft went down near the city of Pokhara in central Nepal.
