In particular, survey respondents pointed to the significant work Dr Mahat and his team carried out following the catastrophic earthquakes this year, his pro-activity in making Nepal&rsquo;s challenges known after the natural disasters, and the resilience of Nepal&rsquo;s economy following these calamities.</p>

<p>In 2015, aircraft arrivals dropped by 0.39 percent while cargo growth increased by 24.70 percent due to the entry of foreign relief material following the April 25 earthquake.

<p>Likewise, the number of domestic air passengers also dropped by 4.25 percent in 2015 as compared to 2014. But the arrival of aircraft and cargo transport increased by 20 and 8.39 percent, respectively.

<p>Meanwhile, CAAN earned Rs 3.10 billion including development charge in fiscal year (FY) 2014/15. Due to the earthquake and current political instability, the income is likely to decrease in FY 2015/16, according to CAAN. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

That gives me comfort that our dedicated employees are in good hands when taking Ncell to the next level,&rdquo; said Johan Dennelind, TeliaSonera&rsquo;s President and CEO.<br />

Axiata has more than 260 million customers and 25,000 employees.

A French consultancy firm is working on the design of the project which is backed by a Rs 60 billion loan and grant from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).</p>

<p>The increasing pressure from the rising number of travellers and the current space limitations at the airport have had an impact on passenger convenience, said Upadhya, admitting that though the number of passengers has more than doubled over the years, the services, facilities and airport security has remained the same.</p>

<p>The current TIA building was constructed in 2002 to handle around 1400 passengers at peak hours. A project to expand the airport in 2010 to handle the increase in passenger volume &ndash;up to 2460 passenger at peak hours- is still underway and has been extended till 2018 owing to different reasons.</p>

<p>Started as a long-term upgradation programme, the new expansion project aims to enable the airport to serve 3600 passenger at peak hours, according to Upadhya. He said the new airport building is going to be built to the north of the current building. The expanded airport will be spread across 90,000 sq meters and will have parking space for 20 international airplanes and 42 domestic planes.</p>

<p>Six boarding bridges will also be constructed and modern pipelines will be used to fuel airplanes. After the expansion, the airport will be extended to Gaushala in the north and Koteshowr in the south. The current international terminal will be transformed into the domestic terminal after the new airport is built by 2028, said Upadhya. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

At the same time, TeliaSonera will dissolve its economic interests in the 20 percent local ownership and receive approximately USD 48 million, said a press release from the company. The transactions are conditional on each other.</strong></p>

<p>&ldquo;In September we announced our ambition to reduce our presence in our seven Eurasian markets and focus on our operations in the Nordics and Baltics, within the strategy of creating the new TeliaSonera. Today, I am very pleased to announce a first step and proof point in this reshaping of TeliaSonera. I am also glad to see Axiata as a new owner. That gives me comfort that our dedicated employees are in good hands when taking Ncell to the next level,&rdquo; said Johan Dennelind, TeliaSonera&rsquo;s President and CEO.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Axiata has more than 260 million customers and 25,000 employees. Ncell will complement its portfolio of Asian telecommunications assets, which includes operations in Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Singapore and Pakistan. Axiata, which is listed on the Malaysian stock exchange, is a reputable company with a strong focus and expertise in South Asia and is also a long-term investor contributing to development and advancements of the countries it operates in.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
The press release stated that TeliaSonera divests its direct ownership of 60.4 percent to Axiata for USD 1,030 million on an cash and debt free basis, Ncell had a net cash position of approximately USD 284 million, after purchase price adjustments, as of September 30, 2015, and TeliaSonera will be paid for the cash position at closing in proportion to its economic interest of 80.4 percent.</p>

<p>As part of the divestment of Ncell to Axiata, TeliaSonera will dissolve its economic interests in the 20 percent local ownership and will receive approximately USD 48 million from Sunivera Capital Ventures Pte Ltd, a Singapore registered company. One Bhavana Singh Shrestha has been chosen as Axiata&rsquo;s chosen local partner.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
As part of the transaction, Visor will sell its 19.6 percent of Ncell to Axiata.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;The divestment, all transactions included, would result in a positive net cash effect for TeliaSonera, corresponding to approximately SEK 7.5 billion after provisions, primarily related to tax, said the press release. The effect on net income is expected to be minor and still dependent on fluctuations of currencies until closing.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;According to the release, the deal is subject to approval from Department of Industries in Nepal, Nepalese Telecom Authority, Malaysian Central Bank and Axiata&rsquo;s shareholders, respectively. Closing of the transaction is expected to take place in the first half of 2016.</p>

A French consultancy firm is working on the design of the project which is backed by a Rs 60 billion loan and grant from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).</p>

<p>The increasing pressure from the rising number of travellers and the current space limitations at the airport have had an impact on passenger convenience, said Upadhya, admitting that though the number of passengers has more than doubled over the years, the services, facilities and airport security has remained the same.</p>

<p>The current TIA building was constructed in 2002 to handle around 1400 passengers at peak hours. A project to expand the airport in 2010 to handle the increase in passenger volume &ndash;up to 2460 passenger at peak hours- is still underway and has been extended till 2018 owing to different reasons.</p>

<p>Started as a long-term upgradation programme, the new expansion project aims to enable the airport to serve 3600 passenger at peak hours, according to Upadhya. He said the new airport building is going to be built to the north of the current building. The expanded airport will be spread across 90,000 sq meters and will have parking space for 20 international airplanes and 42 domestic planes.</p>

<p>Six boarding bridges will also be constructed and modern pipelines will be used to fuel airplanes. After the expansion, the airport will be extended to Gaushala in the north and Koteshowr in the south. The current international terminal will be transformed into the domestic terminal after the new airport is built by 2028, said Upadhya. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Similarly, compared to 2013, passenger and aircraft arrivals increased by 11.83 percent and 15.20 respectively in 2014.</p>

<p>In 2015, aircraft arrivals dropped by 0.39 percent while cargo growth increased by 24.70 percent due to the entry of foreign relief material following the April 25 earthquake. Similarly, within the first 10 months of 2015, around 2.6 million international air passengers passed through Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA).&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>Likewise, the number of domestic air passengers also dropped by 4.25 percent in 2015 as compared to 2014. But the arrival of aircraft and cargo transport increased by 20 and 8.39 percent, respectively. Gautam also said that the drop in passenger numbers has come about because of the earthquake and the ongoing blockade. No effect has occurred in air traffic this year, he added.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, CAAN earned Rs 3.10 billion including development charge in fiscal year (FY) 2014/15. Due to the earthquake and current political instability, the income is likely to decrease in FY 2015/16, according to CAAN. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;In September we announced our ambition to reduce our presence in our seven Eurasian markets and focus on our operations in the Nordics and Baltics, within the strategy of creating the new TeliaSonera. Today, I am very pleased to announce a first step and proof point in this reshaping of TeliaSonera. I am also glad to see Axiata as a new owner. That gives me comfort that our dedicated employees are in good hands when taking Ncell to the next level,&rdquo; said Johan Dennelind, TeliaSonera&rsquo;s President and CEO.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Axiata has more than 260 million customers and 25,000 employees. Ncell will complement its portfolio of Asian telecommunications assets, which includes operations in Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Singapore and Pakistan. Axiata, which is listed on the Malaysian stock exchange, is a reputable company with a strong focus and expertise in South Asia and is also a long-term investor contributing to development and advancements of the countries it operates in.<br />

<p>As part of the divestment of Ncell to Axiata, TeliaSonera will dissolve its economic interests in the 20 percent local ownership and will receive approximately USD 48 million from Sunivera Capital Ventures Pte Ltd, a Singapore registered company.

&nbsp;The divestment, all transactions included, would result in a positive net cash effect for TeliaSonera, corresponding to approximately SEK 7.5 billion after provisions, primarily related to tax, said the press release. The effect on net income is expected to be minor and still dependent on fluctuations of currencies until closing.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;According to the release, the deal is subject to approval from Department of Industries in Nepal, Nepalese Telecom Authority, Malaysian Central Bank and Axiata&rsquo;s shareholders, respectively. Closing of the transaction is expected to take place in the first half of 2016.</p>

A French consultancy firm is working on the design of the project which is backed by a Rs 60 billion loan and grant from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).</p>

<p>The increasing pressure from the rising number of travellers and the current space limitations at the airport have had an impact on passenger convenience, said Upadhya, admitting that though the number of passengers has more than doubled over the years, the services, facilities and airport security has remained the same.</p>

<p>The current TIA building was constructed in 2002 to handle around 1400 passengers at peak hours. A project to expand the airport in 2010 to handle the increase in passenger volume &ndash;up to 2460 passenger at peak hours- is still underway and has been extended till 2018 owing to different reasons.</p>

<p>Started as a long-term upgradation programme, the new expansion project aims to enable the airport to serve 3600 passenger at peak hours, according to Upadhya. He said the new airport building is going to be built to the north of the current building. The expanded airport will be spread across 90,000 sq meters and will have parking space for 20 international airplanes and 42 domestic planes.</p>

<p>Six boarding bridges will also be constructed and modern pipelines will be used to fuel airplanes. After the expansion, the airport will be extended to Gaushala in the north and Koteshowr in the south. The current international terminal will be transformed into the domestic terminal after the new airport is built by 2028, said Upadhya. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>This decision is the outcome of discussions at the magazine, and a survey of views among bankers and economists, says a statement issued by its Asia Editor Stefania Palma Monday. In particular, survey respondents pointed to the significant work Dr Mahat and his team carried out following the catastrophic earthquakes this year, his pro-activity in making Nepal&rsquo;s challenges known after the natural disasters, and the resilience of Nepal&rsquo;s economy following these calamities.</p>

<p>In 2015, aircraft arrivals dropped by 0.39 percent while cargo growth increased by 24.70 percent due to the entry of foreign relief material following the April 25 earthquake. Similarly, within the first 10 months of 2015, around 2.6 million international air passengers passed through Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA).&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>Likewise, the number of domestic air passengers also dropped by 4.25 percent in 2015 as compared to 2014. But the arrival of aircraft and cargo transport increased by 20 and 8.39 percent, respectively.

<p>Meanwhile, CAAN earned Rs 3.10 billion including development charge in fiscal year (FY) 2014/15. Due to the earthquake and current political instability, the income is likely to decrease in FY 2015/16, according to CAAN. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Today, I am very pleased to announce a first step and proof point in this reshaping of TeliaSonera. I am also glad to see Axiata as a new owner. That gives me comfort that our dedicated employees are in good hands when taking Ncell to the next level,&rdquo; said Johan Dennelind, TeliaSonera&rsquo;s President and CEO.<br />

Axiata has more than 260 million customers and 25,000 employees. Ncell will complement its portfolio of Asian telecommunications assets, which includes operations in Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Singapore and Pakistan. Axiata, which is listed on the Malaysian stock exchange, is a reputable company with a strong focus and expertise in South Asia and is also a long-term investor contributing to development and advancements of the countries it operates in.<br />

The effect on net income is expected to be minor and still dependent on fluctuations of currencies until closing.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;According to the release, the deal is subject to approval from Department of Industries in Nepal, Nepalese Telecom Authority, Malaysian Central Bank and Axiata&rsquo;s shareholders, respectively. Closing of the transaction is expected to take place in the first half of 2016.</p>

			'content' => '<p>December 18: The long-awaited expansion of Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) will start sometime in 2016, said TIA General Manager Dewanand Upadhya. A French consultancy firm is working on the design of the project which is backed by a Rs 60 billion loan and grant from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).</p>

<p>The increasing pressure from the rising number of travellers and the current space limitations at the airport have had an impact on passenger convenience, said Upadhya, admitting that though the number of passengers has more than doubled over the years, the services, facilities and airport security has remained the same.</p>

<p>The current TIA building was constructed in 2002 to handle around 1400 passengers at peak hours. A project to expand the airport in 2010 to handle the increase in passenger volume &ndash;up to 2460 passenger at peak hours- is still underway and has been extended till 2018 owing to different reasons.</p>

<p>Started as a long-term upgradation programme, the new expansion project aims to enable the airport to serve 3600 passenger at peak hours, according to Upadhya. He said the new airport building is going to be built to the north of the current building. The expanded airport will be spread across 90,000 sq meters and will have parking space for 20 international airplanes and 42 domestic planes.</p>

<p>Six boarding bridges will also be constructed and modern pipelines will be used to fuel airplanes. After the expansion, the airport will be extended to Gaushala in the north and Koteshowr in the south. The current international terminal will be transformed into the domestic terminal after the new airport is built by 2028, said Upadhya. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
