Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Minister Khadakraj Paudel has called for comprehensive structural reforms at Nepal Airlines, saying the national flag carrier’s financial and managerial condition is extremely fragile.
Speaking at a meeting of the Federal Parliament’s International Relations and Tourism Committee in Kathmandu on October 2, Paudel said there was no justification for adding more aircraft before reforms are carried out. He warned that the airline’s problems require immediate attention.
Reforms Before More Aircraft
Paudel said Nepal Airlines should address its structural problems before expanding its fleet. His remarks put the airline’s financial and management challenges at the center of discussion about its future.
The minister called for comprehensive reforms, but the available information did not specify what changes should be made or set out a timeline for action.
Urgent Attention Needed
Paudel described the airline’s condition as extremely fragile and said its problems could not be left unaddressed. His comments were made during the parliamentary committee meeting focused on international relations and tourism.
