CAAN Enforces Night-Stop Parking for Planes citing Insufficient Space at TIA 

June 20: The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has unveiled a mandatory provision for the night-stop parking for 34 aircrafts including 14 helicopters citing lack of sufficient space at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA).    
A meeting of the CAAN on Sunday took a decision to send 14 helicopters and 20 planes belonging to nine airlines companies out of Kathmandu for the night-stop parking, CAAN Spokesperson Jagannath Niraula said.    
According to CAAN's Director General Pradip Adhikari, the decision will come into effect from June 21 for helicopters and from June 27 for planes.    
Adhikari argued that the mandatory provision for the planes and helicopter to go out of Kathmandu was taken as per the policy to ensure aviation safety in Nepal.    
Likewise, the VVIPs in the country will not be allowed to travel in chartered helicopter managed by a single pilot.

"Now onwards, provision of two pilots for chartered helicopter is mandatory to carry the VVIPs and all the helicopter companies would be written to this issue," Adhikari shared. -- RSS
