                   Search Underway for Missing Plane in Nepal

   by VOA News

   A small plane carrying 21 people has disappeared while flying over
   Nepal Wednesday.

   Officials say the Twin Otter aircraft carried 18 passengers, including
   two foreigners, and a crew of three on what is normally an 18 minute
   flight.

   The twin engine aircraft lost contact with ground controllers after
   taking off from Pokhara, a major tourist center located about 200
   kilometers west of Kathmandu, to Jomsom, a popular spot for mountain
   hikers.

   An official at the Pokhara airport says helicopters have been deployed
   on a search and rescue mission.

   The aircraft was operated by domestic carrier Tara Air.
