Rescuers continue to search for four people after Nepal's deadliest plane crash in decades, while Australian authorities desperately seek news on the welfare of a Sydney man who was on board.
Nepali co-pilot Anju Khatiwada and Australian Myron Love were both on the Yeti Airlines plane that crashed in Nepal on Sunday.An Australian feared dead in Nepal's worst plane crash in 30 years has been named by Nepalese authorities as Myron Love.
It comes as tributes have been paid to the Nepali co-pilot of the Yeti Airlines plane, Anju Khatiwada, who was remembered as "brave, fearless and fun-loving". SBS Nepali journalist Sameer Ghimire said he was "devastated" by the crash and the loss of his childhood friend. The pair grew up in the same neighbourhood of Biratnagar, a city close to Nepal's southeastern border with India, and both attended St Joseph's secondary school.
"The government is aware an Australian was on board and is urgently seeking information from Nepalese officials on the welfare of that passenger," he added.
