The government has given license to three more companies to operate domestic air services.
Reports quoted sources at the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation as saying that Base Air, Agni Air and Nepal Airlines have been granted licenses as per the existing legal provisions and after evaluating their financial and technical proposals.
The three companies now need to obtain the Air Operation Certificate (AOC) from the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) - the regulatory body-- within the next six months.
Of a total of 32 companies that have already obtained AOC from the CAAN, only 17 have started their operations. Because of poor road infrastructures and insecurity, the air travel has gone up in recent years.
The travel by air increased by 10.84 percent in 2003 compared to the previous year, officials said.
Nearly a million passengers had traveled by air within the country last year. nepalnews.com by Oct 11 04 _________________ Asia Expats Forum Expat Friends Dating
