KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — A spokesman for Dhaka-based US-Bangla Airlines says a flight that crashed in Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital, was carrying 67 passengers: 32 from Bangladesh, 33 from Nepal and one each from China and the Maldives.
Airline spokesman Kamrul Islam says there were four crewmembers on board, but did not provide their nationalities.
The plane, a twin-propeller Bombardier Dash 8 flying from Bangladesh, swerved repeatedly before it crashed, landing near the runway and bursting into flames.
