NAC says its Delhi flight to resume soon

Kathmandu: The suspended Kathmandu-Delhi-Kathmandu flights of Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) will resume in a week, according to the national flag carrier.
NAC flights on the sector have been suspended due to repair works of the 180-seater Boeing aircraft’s faulty gear some 10 days ago.
“It took a little more time to find the spare parts as NAC planes are of old model,” said a source at the national flag carrier. “After a long search, the spare parts were found in Canada,” the source said adding that NAC has placed the order.
The spare parts will reach Kathmandu within five days.
“It will take another couple of days to fix spare parts and tentatively flights on New Delhi route — one of the most lucrative routes — will resume in a week.”
Despite being a lucrative route New Delhi always suffers due to lack of NAC aircraft. The airline had suspended its flight in 2008 for almost seven months due to technical problem in one of the aircraft.
