Why Do Flight Crashes Happen Every Year in Nepal? Uncovering the Reasons Behind Frequent Aviation Disasters

Nepal has experienced another major aircraft crash after about a year and a half, resulting in 18 deaths. The pilot is in serious condition. The crash occurred during takeoff in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. The aircraft, operated by Saurya Airlines, was carrying 19 people and took off from Tribhuvan International Airport on Wednesday morning. The exact cause of the crash has not yet been determined, but media reports suggest that the plane skidded off the runway before crashing. The technical team is currently investigating the cause. This is not the first plane crash in Nepal; another incident occurred in January 2023, involving a Yeti Airlines plane that crashed 205 kilometers from Kathmandu in Pokhara, resulting in 68 deaths. The plane that crashed today was also headed to Pokhara.
