January 17: The Hotel Association Pokhara has urged the concerned stakeholders to ensure safety, reliability and smooth management of air service in the country.    

In the wake of the Yeti Airlines plane crash in Pokhara, the association's Chairman Laxman Subedi issued a press statement on Monday and urged the Government of Nepal, Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal, and airlines companies to be serious in making air service safe and reliable in Nepal, the state-owned national news agency RSS reported.      
Subedi also requested the government to intensify search and rescue works and launch relief schemes. According to RSS, Chairman Subedi expressed deep grief over the loss of lives in the accident and extended condolences to the bereaved family members.    

All 72 passengers on board the ill-fated aircraft with call sign 9N-ANC heading towards Pokhara from Kathmandu are feared dead after the plane fell into the Seti River gorge near Pokhara Airport on Sunday while making a final approach for landing.

Rescuers have retrieved 70 bodies from the crash site as well as the black boxes with Cockpit Voice Recorder and Flight Data Recorder and handed them over to the CAAN.

The government has formed a probe committee to investigate the accident, which according to CAAN is the worst air disaster in Nepal in the domestic segment in terms of human casualties.
