NAC to start Kathmandu-Doha direct flight from September

Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) is starting Kathmandu-Doha-Kathmandu direct flight from September.
"Apart from, direct flight to Doha, the airlines is also planning to start Kathmandu-Riyad or Kathmandu-Damam flights, whichever is financially more viable," said spokesperson of the NAC captain OB Gurung.
The national flag carrier has prepared a two-pronged strategy, while planning for the new routes. "If the new aircraft purchase process expedites and NAC can add two new aircrafts, we will take one more aircraft on dry lease and start new routes," he said, adding that the second strategy will be to reduce current flights that have low occupancy and start new routes.
The corporation has also formed a committee -- including trade union representatives -- to suggest on buying new aircraft for the ailing national flag carrier that has only two age old Boeings. "There will be a high level committee that will decide on aircraft purchase but this committee will prepare primary report to help them take informed decision," Gurung added.
The committee -- led by Dr Kiran Poudel of Commercial Department at NAC -- will present its report within 45 days.
However, according to Dhurba Narayan Shrestha, coordinator of Alliance for National Carrier Purchase and member of Nepal Tourism Year 2011 committee without new aircraft, it cannot increase its route. "Nepal urgently needs new aircraft," he said, adding that purchase decision should be made as soon a possible not only to boost image of national flag carrier but also to bring in more international tourists.
"There were many committees formed to study and prepare final report for the purchase of new aircraft but none of them was implemented,” Shrestha added.
"The NAC should forward its proposal as soon as possible to Cabinet because only the Cabinet can take decision to purchase new aircrafts,” he said, adding that the previous deal has also been cancelled at the last moment.
Meanwhile, the corporation has reduced its overdraft to Rs 1.09 billion that is the sign of its improving financial health recently.

C check in August
KATHMANDU: Nepal Airlines Corporation is sending one of its two Boeings -- 9N-ACA -- for the C check in August. "This time the aircraft will take only 18 days unlike one to two months period earlier," the airlines said, adding that the cost has also been come down $1.6 million instead of the previous cost that used to come between $1.8 million to $2.5 million.

You'll also opt in purchasing a survey scanner if you should happen to feel that you need better probabilities in finding the ore that you would like to mine. Approach human resource professionals and companies and ask what skills and qualities they look for in staff and be able to tick all the boxes before applying. A large number of workers, particularly in the professional occupations, will become eligible for retirement in the coming years, and some companies may have trouble coping with the loss of many experienced workers to retirement at a time when the industry is expanding production on dryer machine and ball mill machines.

Therefore, if you wanted to specifically look for CNN News, it is right there in its own directory on the
front webpage. The advert designs can range from being simple text affairs that are very basic, which also tend to be less expensive, to the more expensive, fully graphic designed adverts with photo quality images that can
take up a whole page of the newspaper. Newspaper production
is known to be the most lucrative and respected industry in the modern age.
That’s why, while drafting ads for newspapers selling or buying a property, make your USP as your
headline. Just save your old newspapers, or get some
from friends and neighbors and start packing.
