This happened yesterday.
My Brother's secetary's husband is a co-pilot for
this airline and she got a call that it could be her husband on the flight. Thankfully (for her) he was not on that flight. As news developes I will let you all know.
A Yeti Airlines Twin Otter has crashed in north east Nepal, reports said.
The cargo flight took off from Kathmandu for Lukla. It was reported missing at 1:56 pm, the TIA control room officials said.
Several army helicopters took part in the search and rescue mission and returned to the capital at 5:00 pm. They located the wreckage at the bottom of a cliff on the western side of Lamjura Pass.
Officials said the plane has broken into many pieces and only the wing portion is intact. "There is very negligible chance of any survivors," one army official said.
The plane was piloted by Captain Prakash Srivastav, co-pilot Robin Gurung and steward Nima Sherpa, initial reports said.
The cause of the crash is not known, but there was heavy cloud buildup over the 3,600 m Lamjura Pass which planes have to cross to get into Lukla. nepalnews.com rh/pd/dr May 25 04
