Nepal wants to be off aviation blacklist. It has not passed key bills yet

The government has been working on the proposed legislation since 2009 when it made a commitment to ICAO to split the civil aviation body during the safety audit.

Two long-pending aviation bills, whose passage would have hastened the removal of Nepal from the European Commission's air safety list, encountered another setback after the tourism minister stopped them from being tabled in the House for discussion. Parliament was subsequently prorogued, and the proposed pieces of legislation were once again put in deep storage.
