CAAN lifts suspension of Shree Airlines

The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has revoked suspension of Shree Airlines.

CAAN had suspended all flights of Shree after one of its aircraft flying to Bhairahawa from Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu on Thursday had to return mid-flight after its fire detection system warned of a fire in one of the plane’s engines.

The airlines issued a statement on Friday stating that the authority has given permission to operate the service again as it is completely safe for the airline to fly after conducting a detailed study of the technical inspection, engineering, operation safety and the company’s financial position and administrative capacity.
