EASA to help Nepal remove aviation safety deficiencies
KATHMANDU, APR 12 - A mission from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) will be providing technical assistance to Nepal to support its efforts to remove the significant safety concern (SSC) tag given by the International Civil Aviation Organization (Icao).
According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (Caan), a five-member team is scheduled to arrive on May 4. It will assist Nepal to resolve the deficiencies pointed out by the global aviation watchdog and support the corrective measures adopted by Caan to ensure safety.
Icao monitors Nepal's aviation safety oversight capabilities through the Icao Coordinated Validation Missions (ICVM). International airlines and travellers hesitate to travel to a country whose air safety has been questioned by Icao.
On December 5, 2013, the European Commission (EC) had put all Nepali carriers in its bad books for the worst record of air safety oversight based on Icao's safety audit.
