Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC), formerly Royal Nepal, has canceled all but one of its international flights, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded, after both of its Boeing-757 aircraft were grounded due to technical snags, The Kathmandu Post daily has said and has been quoted bu UNI.
After a flight to New Delhi on Tuesday, a Boeing-757 aircraft could not return to Kathmandu, as it faced a technical glitch in its circuit breaker while starting its engines.
According to the daily, another Boeing-757 has been grounded at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu since Monday after NAC’s maintenance staff found problems in its flaps during routineinspection.
The aircraft was grounded after serious cracks were traced in the aircraft’s flaps, according to said BBS Kansakar, chief of NAC’s Engineering Division, says the report.
Since the repair is not possible here, NAC management is planning to ferry the aircraft to Brunei at the earliest, he added.
A number of passengers in New Delhi, Hong Kong and Osaka have been stranded as NAC had scheduled flights to those destinations.
The aircraft at Delhi is expected to return to operation on Wednesday. And the other one will resume services only after a week after completion of repair at Brunei. As a result, NAC’s several flights are expected to be affected in the coming week.
The NAC is depending on over two-decade-old Boeing-757s to fly to 10 destinations in seven countries and regions.
