Kathmandu, February 20
The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has decided to bar Guna Airlines from conducting flights until the next notice after finding that the company has not paid its staff recently.
The regulatory body says it decided to impose the suspension as the company’s failure to pay staff would affect the staff’s psychology and could ultimately hamper the country’s aviation safety.
CAAN spokesperson Jagannath Niraula says, “We think the unpaid staff cannot work well, and it means there could be security risks.”
The company began its regular operation in September 2021 only.
