At least 44 people have died after a plane crashed near an airport in central Nepal. 72 people were on board the Yeti Airlines flight from Kathmandu. The plane is between two hills near the Pokhara airport, making it difficult for rescue workers to work. The Yeti Airlines flight from the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu crashed on landing, with videos on social media showing the aircraft spinning sharply just before it hit the ground. At least 309 people have died since 2000 in plane or helicopter crashes in the mountainous nation of the Himalayas, Reuters report.

O cursă internă a companiei aeriene Buddha Air din Nepal a transportat pasagerii într-o destinație greșită, informează CNN. Odată ce Budhha Air a realizat că a transportat pasagerii în altă destinație, aceștia au fost îmbarcați la loc în avion și au zburat către Janakpur. Nu există zboruri directe între Pokhara și Janakpur, dar Buddha Air a primit permisiunea pentru a efectua cursa. Buddha Air este o companie privată nepaleză care a început să opereze curse aeriene în 1997. În 2019, o cursă British Airways care decolase din Londra și se îndrepta spre Dusseldorf a zburat din greșeală la Edinburgh.
