Nepal’s security personnel carry the bodies of victims of a crash of a Twin Otter aircraft operated by Tara Air that crashed earlier in the Himalayas with 22 people on board, brought to Kathmandu on an army helicopter at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu on May 30, 2022.
Nepali rescuers have retrieved all 22 bodies from a plane that crashed in the Himalayas, authorities said Tuesday.
Air traffic control lost contact with the Twin Otter shortly after it took off from Pokhara in western Nepal on Sunday morning and headed for Jomsom, a popular trekking destination.
Its wreckage was found a day later, strewn across a mountainside at an altitude of around 14,500 feet (4,400 metres).
"All 22 bodies have been carried to Kathmandu by Nepal Army's (Mi-17) helicopter," Tribhuvan International Airport spokesman Teknath Sitoula told AFP.
