A 10-member Nepali delegation led by CAAN 's Director  General Ratish Chandra Lal Suman and consisting of   representatives from Nepal Airlines Corporation and  private airlines participated in the meeting. They were  asked to explain what measures Nepal had adopted to  ensure safety amid frequent air crashes. The EC has twice asked CAAN to submit an action plan  and progress report outlining its commitments to ensure  safety as domestic airlines risk being black listed due to   the high number of accidents.
