KATHMANDU: The national flag-carrier Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) has obtained an air operator’s certificate (AOC) by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) to conduct flights to Japan. According to NAC assistant spokesperson Nawaraj Koirala, its new A 330 wide-body aircraft was granted the AOC for Kathmandu-Osaka flights on Friday.

The NAC had purchased two wide-body aircrafts on different dates in the past eight months. The NAC would very soon seek permission from an aviation regulating body abroad (Japan) towards that end. It plans to launch the Kathmandu-Osaka flight in the next one month.

It dreams of operating the Kathmandu-China flight as well by the end of March. The NAC has already managed human resources to handle the flights in both destinations. A list of NAC presently available foreign flights includes New Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Malaysia, Singapore, Bangkok and Qatar.

The process is underway to connect China, South Korea, and the Saudi Arabia with the NAC straight flights in near future. It presently owns two international wide-body aircrafts, two narrow-body aircrafts and one Boeing for the operations of international flights.
