CAAN Split & Nepal Aviation\u2019s Progress<\/strong>
\n![\"Nepal](\"https:\/\/www.nepalisansar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/nepal-aviation.jpg\" "\\"Nepal")
The latest decision to engage ICAO experts comes in the background of CAAN\u2019s split into two different wings as service provider and regulator.<\/p>\nThe Civil Aviation Ministry has already prepared the draft Integrated Civil Aviation Bill that envisages the split process and is expecting the Cabinet\u2019s approval for the same by October 2018.<\/p>\n
According to Buddhi Sagar Lamichhane, Joint Secretary at Tourism Ministry, the draft still requires some changes related to legal aspects as recommended by the Law Ministry. \u201cWe are preparing to send the draft to the Law Ministry again,\u201d adds Buddhi Sagar.<\/p>\n
Following approval, the government will hold consultations on issues pertaining to management of personnel and division of liabilities & organizational properties, to be handled by #ICAOExperts.<\/p>\n
The proposal to split CAAN has its roots at a technical committee meeting of the European Commission held in Brussels, Belgium in January 2017, where CAAN officials and the Tourism Ministry updated the Commission about Nepal\u2019s progress in tackling air safety issues.<\/p>\n
Approval of the proposed bill will replace the existing Civil Aviation Act 1959 and Nepal Civil Aviation Authority Act 1996.<\/p>\n
As per the draft bill, CAAN will continue its role as a regulator controlling technical operations and the new airport and Air Navigation Services division will function as a service provider in handling security & infrastructure development, tax collection and traffic control at the airports.<\/p>\n
The decision comes in line with the ICAO\u2019s Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme that recommends split of CAAN for effective functioning of #NepalAviationSector.<\/p>\n
Aviation Safety Report 2018<\/strong>
\nIn its Aviation Safety Report 2018, CAAN reported a significant progress in the country\u2019s aviation sector with regard to enhancement of #airsafety capability and air operation & maintenance, among other factors.<\/p>\nThe report recorded a decline in number of air safety issues to 159 by 2017 from 192 in 2016.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have strictly abided by the #InternationalCivilAviation Organization (ICAO)\u2019s #GlobalAviationSafety plan,\u201d said Birendra Shrestha<\/span>, CAAN Spokesperson citing the report.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nHe further added that the authority will continue its efforts till the country\u2019s aviation sector is deemed \u2018safe\u2019.<\/p>\n
The report also noted that #NepalAviation succeeded in resolving significant safety concern raised by ICAO after its validation mission in 2013.<\/p>\n
\u201cSimilarly, effective implementation of #ICAOSafetyStandards and guidance have also been raised above the global average,\u201d the report said, indicating a rise in CAAN\u2019s performance growth over the years from 43 per cent in 2009 to 55 per cent in 2013 and 66.08 percent in 2017.<\/p>\n
According to Shrestha, #CAAN has also unveiled a four-year aviation safety plan to continue its aviation safety performance to develop harmonized safety strategy and implementation to address fatalities and related risks.<\/p>\n
Hope, the new changes in CAAN\u2019s organizational structure through #ICAO assistance will add to the future progress of Nepal\u2019s aviation sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
