However, the Managing Director has been against buying such wide body airbus.
The Executive Chairman has said that he has answered all ten questions asked by the PAC members, and they need not bother the Airlines in the case of buying planes any more, as the Nepal Airlines Corporation will go bankrupt if two such plans could not be bought.
