Ministry of Culture,
Tourism and Civil Aviation is planning to form an autonomous body – an Air
Transport Safety Board – that will study for enhancing aviation safety.
A year ago, a high level task-force – led by former director general of Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) Medini Prasad Sharma – to study safety compliance had recommended an autonomous body to look into air safety.
The minister has asked to form a committee to prepare legal teeth and its jurisdiction.
However, Finance Ministry has to allocate budget for the proposed board that will include aviation experts and representatives from airlines operators.
