Yeti Airlines Crash

A dark in the sky again. Deep condolences for the victim and relatives. 

In January, an airline crash happened again. A 72-seater Yeti Airlines (a Nepal flagship) ATR72 aircraft crashed at Pokhara International Airport (between old domestic airport and International Airport) in Nepal. Rescue operations are underway and the airport is closed for the time being. A total of 68 passengers and four crew members were on board. Plumes of smoke can be seen engulfing the area, no clarity on survivors as of now. The recent crash makes 28 fatal air crashes in Nepal in 30 years.

This is the latest crash after (the last crash, all type aircraft and airlines) November 6th 2022, Precision Air Flight 494, an ATR 42-500 flying a domestic flight from Dar es Salaam, crash-lands into Lake Victoria while attempting to land at Bukoba Airport, Tanzania. Of the 43 people on board, 19 are reportedly killed. In specific ATR 72, Iran Aseman 374, crash-lands into Mount Dena Iran, near Yasuj Airport (domestic airport) Iran, February 18th 2018. 66 were dead.

Pray to the victims.
