Nepal states concerns over EU safety list

In a statement, the Airlines Operators Association of Nepal has commented that the European Commission’s decision to keep ban all Nepal-based airline companies from flying into or within the EU is a disappointment.

“The European Union had already observed the safety situation of the country in 2009, and had stated in its report that the safety status of the country was satisfactory but the recent decision to ban Nepali airlines has disappointed the aviation industry,” says the association.

The commission has already asked the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to prepare an aviation safety assistance project for Nepal.
