NAC domestic flights cancelled as employees go on strike

The Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) had to cancel all its domestic flights as its employees went on strike Friday.

The NAC workers halted services demanding ‘reform’ in the airline’s management and more aircraft. All four aircraft didn’t fly to their destinations today.

Saying that the management failed to take any step towards institutional reform and add aircraft to save the ailing airline despite continuous pressure, the workers' union also gave seven-day ultimatum to the management to meet the demands.

The Joint Struggle Committee, under which the agitating workers are united, said all the services in the domestic section would be halted until the management responded to the demands.

This is the first time since the start of the workers' strike last month that the domestic flights have been cancelled. nepalnews.com mk July 27 07
