Raj Kumar Chhetri, Speaker of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal, confirmed that Nepal’s Civil Aviation Authority had entered into an understanding with CG Infrata-BDA (JV) to draft a revised master plan for the International Airport of Nijgadh.

Last September, Yogesh Kumar Bhattarai, then Minister of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, instructed the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal to devise a master plan to take Nijgadh International Airport’s work forward as soon as possible. CAAN chose the company, following the ministry’s guidance for the development of the master plan.
