According to My Republica

A (Dornier) aircraft of Agni Air crashed at Bastipur of Shikhapur VDC-2 in Makwanpur district. The plane had left from Kathmandu for Lukla but could not land there due to inclement weather.

The crash occurred while the plane was returning to the capital. The cause of the crash is not yet known.

According to Makawanpur Police Office, a 10-feet ditch was created in the incident spot when the plane fell down in a field nearby Bagiya Thakur Primary School.

All 14—11 passengers and three crew members—on board were killed, Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal confirmed. Four of the passengers were American nationals; one was a Japanese national and one British national, spokesperson of Tourism and Civil Aviation Ministry Laxman Bhattarai informed Republica.

The plane was a Dornier 228, like the one pictured. The registration number of the plane that crashed was A9 AHE. The airport at Lukla frequently makes the list of scariest airports in the world due to both its location, high in the Himalayas and its oddly sloped runway.
