Agni Air Flight 101, operated by Agni Air, was a Twin Otter aircraft on a domestic flight traversing the rugged terrain of Nepal. Shortly after taking off from Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, the aircraft encountered difficulties that would lead to its crash near Shikharpur in the Makwanpur district. Although the details of the final moments leading to the crash were investigated, the record showed that the aircraft had been battling adverse weather conditions during its ascent. Despite the intense efforts of the crew, the flight could not maintain altitude and ultimately went down in a mountainous region.

Rescue teams faced considerable challenges in reaching the crash site due to the remote and difficult terrain. The recovery operation was hampered by fog and the natural landscape, making it difficult for search teams to locate the wreckage promptly. Investigators later confirmed that all 14 individuals on board, including passengers and crew, lost their lives in the tragedy. This event highlighted critical safety concerns within Nepal's aviation industry, especially concerning the operational standards of airlines operating in the region.

Following the crash, it was revealed that varying safety protocols and a lack of stringent regulations contributed to higher accident rates in Nepal’s air travel. The incident triggered increased scrutiny of aviation practices and regulations by the government and civil aviation authorities. A comprehensive investigation was launched to prevent further incidents, emphasizing the need for improved training and adherence to safety standards in the aviation sector.
