KATHMANDU — An aircraft with 72 people on board crashed in Nepal on Sunday, Yeti Airlines and a local official said. ADVERTISEMENTHe said the plane crashed between the old and new Pokhara airports in central Nepal. ADVERTISEMENTIn May 2022, all 22 people on board a plane operated by Nepali carrier Tara Air — 16 Nepalis, four Indians and two Germans — died when it crashed. In March 2018, a US-Bangla Airlines plane crash-landed near Kathmandu’s notoriously difficult international airport, killing 51 people. That accident was Nepal’s deadliest since 1992, when all 167 people aboard a Pakistan International Airlines plane died when it crashed on approach to Kathmandu.
