Nepal -India to sign ASA next week

Kathmandu: Nepal and India are going to sign the Air Service Agreement (ASA) next week.
Nepalese officials and tourism entrepreneurs believe that the agreement would be crucial in resolving the existing problems in air service between two countries.
The airline operators and entrepreneurs say that Nepal should ask India to reduce the parking and navigation fees by 50 per cent. The parking fees that India has imposed on Nepalese Airlines are almost double than that Nepal charges in TIA, says Birendra Basnet managing director of Buddha Air Limited.
It is said that the existing parking and navigation fees were fixed for the 125-seat airlines. But the small aircraft are bearing loss in their flights, say airline operators.
