A plane crashes at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport killing 18 people - DW News



Eighteen people have been killed after a plane crashed during take-off in Nepal. The pilot of the plane is the sole survivor and is currently receiving treatment.

The domestic flight was travelling from the capital Kathmandu when it's reported to have slipped off the runway and caught fire. The Himalayan country has a poor aviation safety record, and airlines operating there face challenging flying conditions.
