January 19: A wide-body aircraft of Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) has resumed regular operations following maintenance. The aircraft had been grounded since last Monday but resumed its services on Thursday after undergoing necessary technical repairs.
According to NAC Spokesperson Ramesh Paudel the aircraft was grounded due to issues with the flight control sensor.
The required aircraft spare parts were brought from Britain and installed on the plane. Following the maintenance, the aircraft departed for Dubai carrying 267 passengers at 4:00 pm on Thursday.
The NAC has two narrow-body and two wide-body aircraft for international flights. However, one narrow-body aircraft is currently undergoing repair in Israel. -- RSS
