KATHMANDU: Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) has suspended all its domestic flights due to a lack of aircraft.

The state-owned carrier’s only Twin Otter aircraft was grounded on Sunday after its engine flight hours expired.

NAC had two Twin Otter aircraft for domestic operations. One has been grounded since March. The other aircraft was taken out of service after its engine flight hours expired.

NAC had been operating flights to 20 remote destinations using these two Twin Otter aircraft. The suspension of domestic flights will significantly impact passengers traveling to remote areas.
