Here comes another blow to the aviation industry in Nepal. This time a Britten-Norman islander military plane owned by the Nepal Army crashed into the hills of Bovan Village in Baglung district in the mid-west region of Nepal.

The plane lost contact at 7.05PM (Nepal time) today (18th October) making it difficult to conduct rescue operations due to the darkness.
