The aircraft had taken off from Kathmandu at 10.32 AM, and it was supposed to land at 10.59 AM, but the crash took place before the 27th minute. It was the flight’s third journey on this route. According to Pokhara airport ATC, the flight was merely 10 seconds away from the runway, but it got crashed right before the landing. The Indians on the flight were Abhishek Kushwaha, Vishal Sharma, Anil Rajbhar, Sonu, and Sanjay Jayaswal. As per Nepal’s Aviation Authority, flames were visible in the plane, and that is why, the accident took place because of a technical fault.

Pokhara is a popular tourist destination in the Himalayas.
