Kathmandu, Nov 13: Prime Minister Sushila Karki has directed the Nepal Airlines Corporation authorities to bring the engine of the A-320 aircraft, currently in Israel, swiftly to resume operations through the aircraft.
Today, during a meeting with the NAC board of directors and management officials at Singha Durbar, Prime Minister Karki expressed her concern regarding the practice of leaving the aircraft’s engine unused in Israel while a rented engine is utilized for its operation. Such irregularities are unacceptable.
“Our engine is merely sitting idle while the cost of renting continue to escalate,” she remarked.
She stressed that no procedural justifications should be offered and that a situation where institutions funded by the public’s money are rendered inoperative must not be permitted.
Prime Minister Karki also encouraged decisiveness in favor of the nation, its citizens, and the institution.
Finance Minister Rameshwar Khanal, Chief Secretary Ekanarayan Aryal, Secretary of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation Hari Prasad Mainali, Chair of the NAC Bikram Rai, and Acting General Manager Jankaraj Kalakheti, among others were present in the meeting.
