KATHMANDU, July 3: The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has granted permission for three aircraft operated by Shree Airlines to resume regular operations after undergoing a thorough technical inspection.

The Flight Safety Standards Department of CAAN conducted the inspection on Monday morning and cleared two Bombardier Dash Q-400 and one Bombardier CRJ aircraft of Shree Airlines for flying.

Anil Manandhar, the spokesperson for Shree Airlines, confirmed that all three aircraft have already embarked on flights to various destinations. "After the technical inspection, three aircraft have been operating flights since morning," He stated, further adding, "One aircraft is currently undergoing inspection and is expected to resume regular flights from tomorrow."

The incident that led to these inspections occurred on Saturday at 3:30 PM when a Shree Airlines plane encountered technical difficulties during its attempted landing in Dhangadhi and subsequently returned to Kathmandu within an hour and a half.

As a precautionary measure, CAAN temporarily grounded all aircraft belonging to Shree Airlines on Sunday.
