Currently, the national flag carrier Nepal Airlines is marching on the path of intense struggle, darkness and huge loss after it’s both Airbus 320-233 aircraft handling the international flight sectors, are undergoing maintenance at Tribhuvan International Airport.

Therefore, NAC should rectify its loopholes for an efficient operation not only for this festival season but for the long run.
