October 15: Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, Sudan Kirati, has said that the state-owned Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) will procure ten new aircraft within the current fiscal year.

The minister said that the government decided to add more aircraft for the NAC to end the anomalies in the airfares. He made the revelation during a meeting with a group of students at his official residence in Pulchowk on Sunday.

"There is no other alternative to intervene in the airfares without enhancing the capacity of NAC,” said Minister Kirati, adding the procurement process will begin shortly.    
The NAC is preparing to purchase three twin-otters for domestic flights. The NAC currently has two twin-otters to conduct flights to remote areas.

According to Minister Kirati, the NAC has been operating flights from Nepaligunj airport to rural areas throughout Dashain. He pledged to sit for talks with authorities concerned to prevent the potential allocation of air tickets in the black market during festivals.    
The students' delegation led by Nepal Students Union President Dujang Sherpa handed a memorandum to the minister, demanding the containment of possible distributions of air tickets oin the black market during festivals.    
The NSU urged the NAC to operate flights targeting mountainous region and remote areas for the convenience of travelers during the festive season. -- RSS
