Kathmandu, 1 October: The recent decision permitting ground handballing facility to the Himalaya Airlines is a plan to finish the national flag career Nepal Airlines Corporation.
The Civil Aviation Authority has given a letter to the Himalaya Airlines allowing the ground handling facility to the Airlines.
Against such a decision of the Authority, Tourism Minister Yogesh Bhattarai called Rajan Pokhrel and instructed to take back the decision.
According to the Jana Aastha vernacular weekly, it cannot be believed that the Civil Aviation Authority didn’t grant such a facility to the Airlines without knowledge of the Minister. The idea of rewarding Baluatar close businessman, owner of the Yeti Group which has a major share in the Himalaya Airlines, was developed through a planned setting.
Now, the Authority will hand over another letter to the Himalaya Airlines and the Airlines will go to the court and return with court permission for operating ground handling service.
Presently, Nepal Airlines, Thai Airways and Indian Airlines have obtained such a facility and the Nepal Airlines, the government undertaking, which is facing a heavy loss, is managing staff salary by providing ground handling service to other airlines flying to Kathmandu.
To recall, the Tourism Ministry had appointed Furgurje Sherpa, associated with the Yeti Group, as the Nepal Airlines board member. Appointment of a businessman from the rival group was also intended with the plan of destroying the government undertaking.
When Sherpa was appointed as the board member, it was believed that the government is planning to shut down Nepal Airlines.
