Aug 9, 2018-The government has decided to rope in technical experts from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (Icao) to assist the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (Caan) in research and development after it is split into regulator and service provider.
The proposal has been okayed by the Caan board and has been sent to the Civil Aviation Ministry which will seek final approval from the Finance Ministry, said Rajan Pokhrel, deputy director general of Caan.
The project was proposed by Icao and will assist Nepal under Icao’s Safety Fund that aims to improve the safety of civil aviation globally, he said. Nepal will contribute 25 percent of the nearly Rs10 million Safety Fund.
