August 23, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\nNepal is getting closer to finalizing an agreement with Australia in the Civil Aviation sector.<\/p>\n
In a recent update, officials of the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), Nepal informed that the Australian Government responded positively to Nepal\u2019s draft Air Service Agreement (ASA) and has also sent its feedback on the same.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are preparing to send our views to Australia. Once both sides agree on a common agenda, the draft will be tabled at the Cabinet for its approval to sign ASA. Negotiations will begin after the Cabinet\u2019s clearance,\u201d\u00a0informed Pramod Nepal, Under-Secretary, MoCA.<\/p>\n
According to Nepali officials, the new deal would be based on \u2018the principal place of business\u2019 rather than the traditional \u2018principle of airline substantial ownership\u2019.\u00a0In many countries, flight operation permit is granted to an airline company only if it has majority of its shareholders from the country it is based in.<\/p>\n
Third country code-share agreement, fifth freedom traffic rights, multiple designations, free pricing and unrestricted cargo are among proposals made by Nepal in its air proposal to Australia.<\/p>\n
The Nepali Ministry had requested the Government of Australia (GoA) to allow 14 weekly flights with any type of aircraft, to which, GoA said it will permit only seven weekly flights to its key destinations such as Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth. \u201cIt has proposed providing unlimited flights for other destinations,\u201d said the Nepali officials.<\/p>\n
The Airbus\u2019 Nepal Air Traffic Analysis report 2015 terms Australia as an emerging market for Nepal with the preferred route through Malaysia.\u00a0The year 2014 saw 41,000 one-way travellers between Australia and Nepal.<\/p>\n
North America, Japan and the UK are other emerging markets for Nepal besides Australia for the next 20 years.<\/p>\n
According to the Under-Secretary Nepal, the number of Nepali students flying to Australia and Australian tourists coming to Nepal has been rising.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
