The European Economic Chamber, Nepal,
has said that it would take initiatives to resolve the problems seen
after the aircrafts registered in Nepal have been banned flying to and
from the European countries.
Speaking at a news conference organised
in Kathmandu Sunday, Chamber Chairperson, Binayak Shah said the Chamber
is co-working with the government and the Civil Aviation Authority of
Nepal (CAAN) on this issue.
The Chamber will urge the European
countries, with the commitment to correct technical and physical
weaknesses seen in air safety, to remove Nepal from the safety black
list, Shah said, as quoted by the RSS.
He said there was a large scale of
investment from the private sector in airlines and added that there
would be negative impact upon tourism sector of Nepal from the decision
of the European Commission.
He said that the private sector was
disappointed from the decision taken suddenly in a short span of time,
though an agreement was reached earlier for providing a chance to
correct the safety weaknesses within six months.
“It was necessary to give a message that
homework is underway for the physical infrastructure development of
airports in Nepal,” Shah said, adding that the European Commission’s
decision would make no impact on Turkey Airlines, which has started its
service recently in Nepal.
