I knew Nepal is a country full of talks, one more talk in the pipeline. Nepal Airlines is thinking of buying 3 wide-body planes for flights including to the US. I wish this news did not even come out at this time. In a country where there is no know-how on towing a plane from the runway to the tarmac, it sounds fishy to me. When the Malaysian Airlines is barely recovering from MH17 and MH370 disasters, the news could not be more ill-timed.
I say first stack up cash for smaller planes for regional flights, build some heavy-lifting expertise, let the government build better airports. Wait for the government to clean up the rest rooms in the TIA. Earn some goodwill and experience in sizeable distance flights. Then start thinking about buying larger planes. Any disasters like the MH17 or MH370 will totally knock out Nepal Airlines out of existence. Well thinking aloud!
