The Finance Ministry has
finally agreed to give a guarantee for the national flag carrier to purchase
aircraft from Airbus.
"Writing a letter
yesterday to NAC, the Finance Ministry has asked it to go ahead with the
purchase process of aircraft from Airbus, as the government is ready to give a
guarantee," according to the corporation.
However, the ailing
Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) also needs to make structural changes besides
adding new aircraft to perform well as it has to compete with international
airlines that have strong financial and structural foundations.
Earlier, on March 16,
Airbus representatives and NAC had agreed to continue with talks as Airbus has
also agreed to send a new price list based on the increased factory price of
the aircraft soon.
