Guna
Airlines will resume its flights on Monday after 90 days of flight suspension.
The
airlines had suspended its operation in March, citing technical problems in its
aircraft. “We conducted our technical flight on Saturday and we will resume our
commercial flights from Monday,” said executive director of the company Ghanashyam Acharya.
The
company's management had previously planned to resume operations from April but
due to the delay in the delivery of spare parts, it was not able to resume
flights as planned. “Due to the lack of proper management of engine and spare
parts of the aircraft, the company was unable to resume the flights in the
stipulated time,” states the company's press release.
“To overcome
the challenges we might face due to the suspension of our flights for three
months, we have resumed our flights with a new management, marketing strategy
and planning,” said Acharya. The company is preparing to sell one aircraft out
of the three it has and only two aircraft will be operated for commercial
flights.
Guna
Airlines has a capacity to operate flights for eight hours a day, however the
flight-hours will depend on passenger traffic.
The company
has Ghanashyam Acharya as its executive director, Ram Prasad Koirala as
director of Technical Division, Captain Anil Shrestha as director of Operation
Division, Uttam Krishna Kharel as director of Quality Assurance, Captain Binay
Bijukchhe as chief pilot and Captain Manoj Krishna Shrestha as director of
Flight Security Division.
The company
has three Beechcraft 1900D aircraft. The airlines started its operation on May
19, 2009.
