Himalayan banned in India

Kathmandu: Himalaya Airlines had applied to start flights to New Delhi immediately after coming into operation three years ago. But it has yet to receive one.

Nepal has been providing permission to Chinese and Indian airlines immediately but Nepali airlines companies have not been able to get one in the neighboring countries. The government has also failed to take a strong stance for that.

India is denying Himalayan Airlines claiming that it has majority Chinese investment despite Yeti Airlines owned by Nepali citizen Ang Tsering Sherpa having a 51 percent stake. Tibet Airlines has 49 percent stake in the company.
Nepal has not raised the issue at the political level. Ministry officials say the government should raise the issue at the political level as a company with Nepali investment is being blatantly discriminated against.

Three India airlines currently operate 75 flights to Nepal in a week but Nepal Airlines has been operating just 39 a week.
