With growing demand of aviation, shortage of large aircraft for long-haul destinations, single international airport and lack of other required infrastructure, aviation in Nepal has become a cross-cutting issue. The situation is further exacerbated by the placement of Nepal registered carriers in the EU Safety Watch List due to safety concerns tagged by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Audits.

  • Views Manifested in the Articles Are Those of Writer's
    Editorial Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), the aviation sector regulator has successfully completed 19 glorious years since its establishment in 1998. We celebrate the CAAN Day on the eve of the New Year when year 2017 is saying farewell to us and we are impatiently waiting to welcome New Year with lots of joy and festivity. Aviation safety in Nepal has always been a contentious issue. There has not been significant improvement in the safety, although Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has put its utmost and sincere efforts to make Nepali sky safer. The European Union has placed Nepal registered carriers in EU Safety Watch List due to safety concerns tagged by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Audits. Nepal's safety standard is lower than the ICAO set standards therefore we should implement State Safety Programme (SSP). Our Safety Oversight Capability (SOC) has been visibly improved after the ICVM of ICAO in July 2017. On this joyful moment of celebration, we would like to express our commitment that in order to make the achievement sustainable, continuity will be given to the flight safety reform, and CAAN's SOC will be strengthened in cooperation and collaboration with the regional and international aviation organizations. Ever-increasing demand of aviation service, growing number of passengers, shortage of quality aviation infrastructure, lack of narrow-body and wide-body aircraft for long-haul destination and stunted growth of the national flag carrier have become the major challenges for the development of the aviation sector. Pokhara Regional International Airport is yet to take off while Second International Airport project in Bara and Gautam Buddha International Airport Project Bhairahawa has been continuously receiving glitches in land acquisition and construction works.
