Pilots found responsible for January 15 Nepal plane crash that killed 72 persons

New Delhi, Dec 29: On 15 January 2023, 72 passengers including two infants were killed in a Nepal plane crash that has been attributed to a critical error made by the pilots who mistakenly cut the power, according to findings from government-appointed investigators.

The ill-fated Yeti Airlines flight, en route from Kathmandu to Pokhara on January 15, met its tragic end due to a loss of thrust resulting in an “aerodynamic stall.” It is believed to be the deadliest aviation disaster in the country in the last three decades.
