Nepal Airlines Corporation's narrowbody aircraft, which was grounded in Hong Kong due to fuel shortage, has taken off after 3 hours. The airline has said that the aircraft with flight number RA410 was refueled after requesting the old company Chevron. A director of the corporation said, "The old company Chevron refueled the aircraft after requesting it." The details are yet to be understood. As today is a weekend holiday, not all the information has come. The agreement with Chevron to supply fuel to Hong Kong has ended. The process of a new tender is underway. The aircraft, which was supposed to land in Kathmandu at 10 pm, is now scheduled to land at 12:30 pm, the corporation said. The aircraft returned from Hong Kong with 85 passengers. Tourism Secretary Mukund Niraula had directed the corporation's acting general manager Janakraj Kalakheti to inquire into the incident and resolve it. Secretary Niraula also said that Kalakheti has been directed to appear at the ministry on Monday.
Meanwhile, the ministry has also said that it is preparing to seek clarification from the Corporation's country manager in Hong Kong, Meegi KC, and station manager Gurusharan Sah. Former board member Ram Prasad Khatiwada, who recently retired from the board of the Corporation through a government ordinance, has termed the incident as serious negligence on the part of the corporation's management. According to him, the head of the operations department, Subash Rijal, and executive director, Amritman Shrestha, are the main responsible for this incident.
The plane that reached Hong Kong from Kathmandu with 130 passengers on Saturday was stopped after it could not refuel. It has been revealed that the Corporation's fuel agreement with Hong Kong-based fuel supplier company Chevron has expired and was not renewed on time.
