At least five among the 72 people who died in the Yeti Airlines crash in Pokhara were Indians. The plane was carrying 68 passengers and four crew members when it crashed a few kilometres from its destination about 20 minutes after it took off from Kathmandu for Pokhara.
Besides Indians, there were other foreign nationals — four Russians, two Koreans, and one Argentinian, Australian, Irish and French — traveling to Pokhara, Nepal’s biggest tourist attraction. The rest of the 53 were Nepalis.
A release by the airlines said the passenger list also included three children and three infants.
