Rajan Pokharel appointed as CAAN director general

Government has appointed Rajan Pokharel as the director general of Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN). The meeting of the Council of Ministers today promoted Pokharel, who was the officiating director general at the regulatory body of the aviation.
Pokharel committed to the improvement in air service, making efforts to ensure air safety and infrastructure building. “My priority is the operation of under-construction international airports, and upgrading of the domestic airports,” he said, adding that the CAAN would work in cooperation with the companies providing air service. He also has the challenge to reform the CAAN and bifurcate the regulatory authority as recommended by the European Union (EU) to make Nepal’s aviation sector more safe.
