A plane with 72 people on board crashed near an airport in central Nepal and at least 40 bodies have been recovered, officials say.

The Yeti Airlines flight from Kathmandu to the tourist town of Pokhara crashed on landing, catching fire.



Videos posted on social media show an aircraft flying low over a populated area before spinning sharply.

There were 68 passengers on board, including at least 15 foreign nationals, and four crew members.

Hundreds of Nepalese soldiers are involved in the operation at the crash site in the gorge of the Seti River, just one and a half kilometres from the airport.

All Dead in Nepal Plane Crash, Many Burned Beyond Recognition

Hundreds of people gathered at the site soon after the crash of the twin-engine plane. Sixty-eight passengers and a crew of four were aboard the plane, the agency said.

The flight from Kathmandu, 125 miles to the east, was scheduled to take about a half-hour. Many family members gathered at Kathmandu airport, some exchanging heated words with officials as they awaited word on the fate of their loved ones.

The passenger list: 53 Nepalese, five Indian, four Russians, two Koreans and one person each from Argentina, Australia, Ireland and France. The Russian Ambassador to Nepal, Alexei Novikov, confirmed the death of four Russian citizens who were on the plane.


Video from the scene posted on social media appears to show the plane starting to roll as it approached the ground. The plane was built by the French-Italian aerospace company ATR, which said it had been informed of an accident involving an ATR 72-500.

"Our first thoughts are with all the individuals affected by this," the company said in a statement. "The ATR specialists are fully engaged to support both the investigation and the customer."

In July 2014, a TransAsia ATR 72-500 flight crashed while trying to land on the scenic Penghu archipelago between Taiwan and China, killing 48 people onboard. An ATR 72-600 operated by the same Taiwanese airline crashed shortly after takeoff in Taipei in February 2015 after one of its engines failed and the second was shut down, apparently by mistake.

The European Union has banned airlines from Nepal from flying into the 27-nation bloc since 2013, citing weak safety standards. In 2017, the International Civil Aviation Organization cited improvements in Nepal’s aviation sector, but the EU continues to demand administrative reforms.

An emergency meeting of the Nepal Council of Ministers was held Sunday at the prime minister's official residence in Kathmandu. The government shut down all public services except for the emergency agencies, said Phadindra Mani Pokharel, spokesperson for the council. The government declared Monday a national day of mourning.

Yeti Airlines postponed all of its flights through Monday "in mourning for the passengers who lost their lives."
