Adhikari,
You have to look at it in a wider picture. The fact is that the talk is still a talk at this point, probably the CEO of the NA wanted to gauge the reality. Of course all those involved in this scam are thinking about commissions first and foremost. Nepal Airlines is a state owned corporation. So is the airport owned by the government and the employees there and here are all pay-rolled by the government to my best knowledge. If the organs of the government cannot operate in tandem, general public see the general failure of the airplane industry, not just the one unit of it. NA cannot just say as an argument, if there is a failure in my watch, I'll ask for help from the government then.
I can claim that I can operate a wide-body airlines in Nepal if the government pay-rolls the company. If anything goes wrong, my idea is to resign and escape. That's what you are talking about. I want to operate because I'll get the commission directly for purchasing the planes, fu^ck the rest.
You also talked about track record of the NA. You ignored the posting of the other friend above. Nepal Airlines is black-listed. Are you trying to say Nepal Airlines is being prejudiced by the Europeans despite having faultless, accident-less records. Please explain. And NA does not fly so many flights now a days, but its records are not without accidents. Go back at least 15 years and I can recall there were a lot of accidents.
Regarding the Malaysian Airlines, एंड दो नोट उन्देरेस्तिमाते MA ओर मलेशिया अस अ चोउन्त्र्य चोम्परेड तो नेपाल, just a few months ago MA was considering a bankruptcy.
Now, does that not mean that MA was losing money because of the accidents? Insurance companies also follow guidelines, I'm sure, to determine whether to honor the claims or not. It can take years before the victims are compensated. Until then Airlines are on the hook.


Let me also raise the ethics seen in NA. When I was growing up, my neighbors used to work for NA (I was definitely jealous). Those fuckers used to go abroad (Thailand and Hongkong) on NA's tickets for free and bring electronics items, clothes and what not without paying any taxes. Those kind of people will definitely support any ideas for flights to the US without hesitation. I'm not sure you are not one of those and writing your comments in the best interest of the country.
------------------
I don't mind NA buying planes using foreign money without collateral from any public institution from Nepal. But as long as NA is thinking about buying them using Provident funds or private banks of Nepal, I'll never support such an aggressive endeavor.

My thought is clear. Go small, NA has a lot of catchup to do regionally alone. Make some money, watch the country make progress in airport infrastrures, and if everything goes well, then talk about flights to the US and other EU countries. Just good luck from me.
