At least 22 people have been killed after a Saurya Airlines aircraft crashed during takeoff.

The plane caught fire immediately, before crashing off the side of the runway.

A recovery operation is currently underway, according to reports. 18 passengers were killed, as well as four people on the ground at the time of impact, while the pilot has been rushed to the hospital.
