On Wednesday morning, 18 people lost their lives when a Sourya Airlines plane that flew to Pokhara for a routine technical test crashed inside the Tribhuvan International Airport. This plane crash has once again raised a big question about the safety of Nepal's aviation. This incident has given an indication that not only the sky but also the land of Nepal is not safe for air flights.

Also, when the European Union and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) are concerned about Nepal's air safety and have serious security concerns, it is not good for such major accidents to occur. Even in the accident that happened inside the main airport of the country, immediate rescue could not be done, which has sent a wrong message to the international world. Who will be responsible for the delay in Wednesday's event? Some questions raised by the solar plane crash:

1. What prevented an immediate rescue? Why is the road not built in the entire periphery of the airport so that it is easy to reach the fire brigade?

2. Why didn't we learn to rescue as easily and as quickly as possible from the repeated rescue exercises at the airport?

3. Was the plane that was supposed to take Pokhara to C-check fit to fly there or not? What do independent technologists say about this?

4. Why were children and unrelated people put on the plane taken for testing?

5. There is a rumor that almost all the planes brought by the private sector in Nepal are old. Could the government have made strict rules to reduce such accidents?

If the plane had crashed just half a kilometer away, how much more would the loss of human wealth have been? If we look at this tragic situation with the past, the series of plane crashes has increased in recent years compared to the past. The Tara Air plane crash in Karnali a year and a half ago and the Yeti Airlines plane that took off from Kathmandu on the day of Maghe Sankranti in 2079 fell into a hole at Pokhara International Airport and more than 70 passengers lost their lives.

Even after 11 years, the European Union has not removed Nepal from the blacklist due to the inaction of the government and the epidemic caused by the plane crash. On the one hand, the officials of the government are asleep after announcing the decade of tourism, while on the other hand, the road travel affected by the plane crashes, floods and landslides is becoming a nightmare for the common people.

Looking at the history of air accidents in Nepal, more than 900 people have lost their lives so far. How long will the Nepali people have to be a partner in such accidents? The death of three people from the same family, including a four-year-old child, is even more painful. The exact cause of the accident has not been revealed, but every time an investigation committee is formed, but no solution is found.

This is not the first time there has been an accident at the airport. Another sad aspect is that when the plane crashed, the fire brigade did not reach in time. Why can't Nepal Airlines Corporation solve such minor problems? In the international world, it has been said that Nepal's flight is unsafe, why is the government not able to pay serious attention to improve it? Even now, foreigners are afraid to board Nepalese planes. If you take a car, the car will crash, if you take a plane, the plane will crash, and what will you do with the trip? Nepalese travel will always be unsafe?
