Airline Operators announce closure of regular flights from Wednesday

KATHMANDU: The Airline Operators Association, Nepal (AOAN), has announced to stop regular flights from Wednesday.

Organizing a press conference in Kathmandu on Tuesday, AOAN made a five-point demand and announced that rescue and regular flights would be suspended from Wednesday unless their demands were met.

The association has objected to the Civil Aviation Authority Nepal (CAAN) decisions like asking the airline operators to arrange for two captains in the aircraft, not allowing the aircraft and helicopters to park in the places they have been using so far, and labeled the decisions as impractical.
