<p>Eighteen people are missing over the Himalayan mountains of central Nepal on a Nepal Airlines Twin Otter en route from Pokhara to Jumla. The plane had stopped in Pokhara to refuel. The crew lost contact with Bhairawa ATC a quarter hour after taking off.  The plane never arrived in Jumla.</p>
<p>The plane&#8217;s first flight was in 1971.</p>
<p>The route from Pokhara to Jumla flies over Dhorpatan and Rukum, and zig zags over tall mountains.</p>
<p>The last radio contact was at 13:13.</p>
<p>A fire was spotted in a forested area near Khidim but the search was called off due to weather conditions.  Locals also reported hearing a loud noise. The Fishtail Air search helicopter was unable to land due to poor visibility and the air search was called off.  On foot, the search continues with the Nepal Army, a team from Palpa and Mujhum Police. </p>
<p>The wreckage has not been located but the crash site is presumed to be on the border of Argakhanchi, Gulmi and Palpa districts, one and half hour walking uphill from Khidim village in Argakhanchi district.</p>
<p>There were three crew and fifteen passengers, all but one of whom were from Nepal. The foreigner is Dutch.  </p>
<p>The crew was made up of Captain Shankar Shrestha, co-pilot Rabinda Banjara and Air hostess Muna Maharjan. The names of the passengers have not been released.  </p>
<p>One child was also aboard.</p><p>The post <a href="https://airflightdisaster.com/nepal-airlines-flight-missing/" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self">Nepal Airlines Flight Missing</a> first appeared on <a href="https://airflightdisaster.com" data-wpel-link="internal" target="_self">George Hatcher's Air Flight Disaster</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Twenty-one people aboard a Nepal Airlines de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter 300 survived the attempted landing 125 miles NW of Kathmandu.</p>
<p>Everyone aboard survived but everyone was injured. Five of the tourists were seriously injured.</p>
<p>On landing at Jomsom airport at 8:30 a.m., the brakes failed, and the plane skidded to the banks of the Kali Gandaki river. The wheel of the plane slipped off the runway and turned right. The front of the plane was wrecked and in the water. The back appears intact.</p>
<p>Eight passengers were Japanese, and on pilgrimage to Muktinath, a sacred Buddhist site at the foot of the Thorong La Himalayan mountain pass. </p>
<p>The rest of those aboard were Nepali.</p>
<p>An investigation is underway.  The accident is currently being attributed to brake failure.  Jomsom airport is known as one of the most dangerous on earth.</p>
