CTOnews.com learned that plane crashes are not uncommon in Nepal. There have been several serious aviation disasters in Nepal in recent years. In the past 30 years, there have been nearly 30 fatal plane crashes in Nepal, most recently in May 2022 at Tara Airlines, which killed 22 people on board.

The ATR-72 is an improved version of the ATR-42 regional airliner made by ATR, a French-Italian joint venture aircraft manufacturer. The ATR-72 is a twin-propeller civil aircraft with the same structure as the ATR-42, but with a longer fuselage, more passengers and a range of more than 1650 km. The luggage storage rack of the ATR series is located between the cockpit and the cabin, so the front door is usually used to load and unload luggage, while most passengers enter the cabin through the rear door. ATR-72 made its maiden flight in 1988 and went into commercial service in 1989. Finnair was the first airline to receive this type of aircraft. As of April 2, 2012, more than 320 ATR-72 models have been sold.
