The 9N AIV Pilatus porter aircraft of the Tara Air skidded off the runway in Lukla, around noon Thursday.
The plane met with the mishap at 12:15 pm while trying to land carrying a cargo from Ramechhap, as it hit a gate of the Hotel La Villa 15 metres away from the runway after being uncontrolled while landing, witnesses told RSS.
Although the aircraft has been totally damaged, Captain Kosh Thapa is unhurt, said the Lukla Civil Aviation Office. Last year, Sita Air had similar accident here, and the aircraft is still there.
The airport has no enough runway, causing such mishaps time and again. Lukla airport is said to be the most dangerous airport of Nepal, say experts and is considered seventh dangerous worldwide. nepalnews.com
