Restructure Nepal Airlines For Rescue

Making reforms in the national flag carrier – Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) – has been ‘high on agenda’ for every successive Tourism Minister. They pledge to make every possible effort to give a new lease of life to this faltering airline. Incumbent Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Badri Prasad Pandey has also followed suit immediately after assuming his office. But none of them has been found taking any much-needed step to improve the airline’s condition. NAC has kept on losing its repute both at national and international levels due to its mismanagement. Numerous notorious scandals such as Dhamija scam, Chase Air scam, Lauda Air scam, wide-body scam and narrow-body scam have caused huge damage to the airline’s financial health as well as image.
