"Weather was not a problem, preliminary information has been received that the plane crashed due to technical reasons. Information has been received that flames were seen in the plane while it was still air-borne,” Gyanendra Bhul, information officer at Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal, said hours after a Yeti Airline flight due to land at the newly inaugurated Pokhara International Airport crashed on the Seti river, just 10 seconds it would touch down. Yeti airline spokesman Sudarshan Bartaula said the Yeti Airlines flight with 72 people on board crashed in Nepal just seconds before it was due to land. The flight was en route to Pokhara from capital Kathmandu and crashed “10 to 20 seconds before landing,” Bloomberg quoted the airline spokesman. Yeti Airlines' 9N-ANC ATR-72 aircraft took off from Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport at 10:33 am and crashed on the bank of the Seti River between the old airport and the new airport, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal.
