A plane has gone missing in Nepal with 21 people on board. The
small aircraft vanished in the west of the country in the early hours of this
morning.
The Twin Otter aircraft, operated by Tara Air, was carrying
18 passengers and a crew of three. Two foreign nationals are believed to be on
board.
The flight was en route from Pokhara, 125 km (80 miles) west
of Kathmandu, to Jomsom when it lost contact with the control tower.
"Two helicopters are on a search-and-rescue
mission. No
traces of the aircraft so far," Pokhara airport official Yogendra Kunwar said.
