Saurya Airlines Crash Kathmandu, Nepal
Intro
Early morning of July 24th, 2024, a plane crashed into Kathmandu, Nepal. The airline affected was Saurya Airlines, more specifically a CRJ-200. The death count remains at 18 as of today, and the captain is rumored to have survived with some eye damage. My thoughts and prayers go out to the deceased and their families.
Takeoff Crash
The incident occurred just this morning as the CRJ-200, with the registration code 9N-AME, was scheduled to operate a ferry flight for maintenance from Kathmandu to Pokhara. The route consisted of a short 20-minute flight and a total of 91 miles.
Upon rotating out of Kathmandu, the CRJ had a bank right and soon after crashed into the runway, not more than 200 meters away from it.
I am interested in seeing what the investigation into this accident comes up with. The plane went into the ground while being on its side. Does it have anything to do with the maintenance?
Unfortunately, the humans that were onboard were 18 of the Suarya Airlines staff. To make matters worse, this was the only aircraft in their fleet, so this might be the end for Suarya Airlines.
There are no two ways around this. This is a tragic accident in every way possible, and I hope the families get the closure they deserve. ❤️
Final Thoughts
A tragic accident occurred this morning in the mountains of Kathmandu, Nepal. A CRJ-200 bound for a short 91-mile flight to Pokhara went down moments after rotating out on departure. My guess is an investigation will be conducted to see the cause of the 18 deaths onboard. The sole survivor remains to be the captain of the aircraft. My thoughts and prayers, once again, go out to the deceased and their families.
