Abstract

A Saurya Airlines flight crashed during takeoff from Kathmandu Airport in Nepal, resulting in the deaths of 15 people, all of whom were airline employees. The plane was en route to Pokhara for maintenance when the crash occurred, with one of the plane's wings hitting the ground during takeoff. This incident marks the deadliest crash in Nepal since January of the previous year, when 68 passengers and four crew members were killed in a separate accident. The aircraft involved in this crash was a Mitsubishi CRJ-200 with a capacity for 50 passengers, and Saurya Airlines currently operates only two aircraft. [Extracted from the article]
