  52 sec to read

 

Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) will be ready to start the flights of its grounded domestic aircrafts within three months, said Ram Kumar Shrestha, Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation. He said so in a programme organized by tourism entrepreneurs from various parts of Nepal.  In the programme, Shrestha stated that  the flights will start after repairing the grounded aircrafts. 

Although NAC has five aircrafts for domestic flights, only two aircrafts, 9N-ABO and ABT, are in operation. Three aircrafts, 9N ABB, ABU and ABX flights are still grounded. According to Shrestha,  the aircrafts will be promptly repaired, with a cost of around Rs 160 million, and the NAC authorities will be directed to operate the flights soon. 

He also said that If NAC isn’t able to start the flights within three months, the repaired aircrafts will be given to the private sector on lease, and the private sector will have to pay Rs 1 million per month and per aircraft.
