Airline operators agree to resume domestic flights from 11 Wednesday morning

The Airline Operators Association of Nepal (AOAN), that announced grounding of all their airplanes and helicopters from Wednesday without even giving a 24-hour notice to the passengers, has agreed to resume regular flights from 11 Wednesday morning.

The operators, who announced the decision in protest against the government’s new rule that requires different airline companies to park their 55 planes and helicopters at their designated operating bases outside Kathmandu at night, have agreed to resume flights following a meeting with Director General of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) Pradeep Adhikari in presence of Home Secretary Tek Narayan Pandey late Tuesday night.
