A passenger plane crashed on takeoff in Kathmandu on Wednesday, with the pilot rescued from the flaming wreckage but all 18 others aboard killed, police in the Nepali capital told AFP

A plane crashed during takeoff in Nepal's capital Kathmandu on Wednesday morning with 19 people aboard, the Kathmandu Post newspaper reported citing an airport official

The report run by a Nepalese newspaper over the investigation findings on the US-Bangla plane crash led by their government is 'false' and 'baseless', says Captain Salahuddin M Rahmatullah, head of Aircraft Accident Investigation Group of Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB).

US-Bangla Airlines yesterday raised questions over the primary investigation report of the Nepalese authorities on the March 12 crash of its plane at Kathmandu airport that left 51 dead, 27 of them Bangladeshis.
