Missing Plane found Crashed

KATHMANDU, FEB 16 - A Jumla-bound twin otter belonging to Nepal Airlines has gone out of contact since Sunday afternoon. The aircraft that took off from Pokhara airport at 12:43 am lost contact with air traffic control tower since 1:13 pm.
There were 18 passengers including three crew members, one child and a foreigner on board the plane that was scheduled to land at 1:45 pm.
The crew members include Captain Shankar Shrestha, co-pilot Rabinda Banjara and Air hostess Muna Maharjan. The aircraft had last made contact with Bhairahawa air traffic controller, asking permission for diverting the plane. But the plane has not been able to establish contact since then, according to Pratap Babu Tiwari, Chief of Pokhara Airport.
Though the visibility of the Pokhara airport and the plane's destination airport was said to be fair (7 km), the officials suspect the weather might have deteriorated in the mid-way as the plane left.
