Nepal Plane Crash: Saurya Airlines Aircraft Crashes During Takeoff in Kathmandu

  • The plane, bound for Pokhara, caught fire and released a significant plume of smoke, according to reports from Khabarhub.
  • Rescue operations are underway, with police and firefighters at the scene; the pilot has been taken to a hospital, but details about the passengers' conditions remain unknown.
  • Nepal's air industry, despite its recent boom, has been plagued by safety issues, leading to a European Union ban on all Nepali carriers.
  • This incident adds to Nepal's troubling aviation history, with at least 12 fatal crashes since 2010, including the tragic Yeti Airlines crash in January 2023 that claimed 72 lives.
