Kathmandu: A US-Bangla Airlines plane carrying 67 passengers today crash landed after catching fire at Nepal’s international airport here, officials said. It was not immediately clear if there were fatalities.

The plane carrying 67 passengers and four crew skidded off the runway while landing at the Tribhuvan International Airport. At least 17 people on board had been rescued, authorities said.
