The national flag carrier, Nepal Airlines Corporation, is bringing back its Boeing aircraft ‘Gandaki’ after its successful maintenance in Malaysia.

The Corporation says it has already sent a crew to Kuala Lumpur on Sunday and the aircraft will be brought back on Tuesday.

The aircraft, with the call sign ACB 757, was in Malaysia for past two months after a problem surfaced in its thermal blanket.

NAC spokesperson Nawa Raj Koirala informs that the Corporation is planning to sell the aeroplane at the earliest. However, it will be deployed in service till the sale.

Officials say the Corporation has already finalised its price and sent related documents to the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation for the approval.

Recent controversies about the purchase of two wide body Airbus aircraft have also affected the sale process, according to them.
