Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) has brought two new aircrafts in order to increase its share in the domestic flight market. The aircraft landed in Kathmandu at 2 pm on Feb 13th, 2018.
Why it matters:
- The Corporation says the new airplanes will be flown to mountainous districts in particular.
- The addition of these two aircrafts will make the total of the national flag carrier’s domestic fleet to nine.
Backstory:
Around five years ago, the Corporation had signed an agreement with the Chinese government to buy eight aircraft.
Four of them have already arrived in Kathmandu.
What they are saying:
- “The Corporation is adding new planes without any preparation,” a Corporation official says, “Under present circumstances, these new aircraft will remain grounded at the airport.”
- However, stakeholders think that the aircrafts might cost NAC too much to maintain and along with that, it has low productivity.
- The Corporation has reported frequent problems in the operation of two of the airplanes they are currently flying. Skilled pilots and matching equipments are also scarce for these aircraft.
