“The decision will come in force from June 21 for helicopters and from June 27 for airplanes,” said CAAN Director General Pradeep Adhikari . 


Adhikari said that the mandatory provision for the airplanes and helicopter to go out of Kathmandu was taken as per the policy to ensure aviation safety in Nepal.


Likewise, the VVIPs in the country will not be allowed to travel in the chartered helicopter managed by a single pilot. Now onwards, a provision has been made that two pilots in the chartered helicopter are mandatory to carry the VVIPs and all the helicopter companies would be written to this issue, Adhikari shared.
