Nepal court reportedly gives ‘compensation order’ to US‑Bangla Airlines over Kathmandu crashA court in Nepal has reportedly ordered US-Bangla Airlines to compensate the families of victims of the 2018 Kathmandu plane crash, according to The Kathmandu Post. The Kathmandu Post reported that the compensation ruling came on Sunday, nearly seven years after the case began. According to The Kathmandu Post, this is the first time in Nepal’s history that a court has awarded such a large compensation package to families of aviation crash victims. The report said the ruling came from Kathmandu District Court, and US-Bangla Airlines now has the right to appeal to the High Court or the Supreme Court. Citing court official Deepak Kumar Shrestha, the report said it will take time to receive the full written copy of the verdict.
