Hospital officials get ready to unload the dead body of a plane crash victim outside the Teaching Hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal, Sunday, April 14, 2019. KATHMANDU, Nepal -- A small passenger plane crashed into a parked helicopter during takeoff at the only airport in Nepal's Everest region on Sunday, killing at least three people and injuring four others, officials said.
Both are private airline companies that cater to tourists and Nepalese in the country's remote areas. A civil administrator, Narendra Kumar Rana, said the four passengers and a flight attendant on the plane were safe. The airport is often referred to as the world's most dangerous because of the short runway and difficult approach. It's open only to helicopters and small fixed-wing aircraft. It sits at an elevation of 9,334 feet .
