Shree Airlines grounded until further notice for engine safety checks, flights cancelled

KATHMANDU, March 10: All flights operated by Shree Airlines have been grounded until further notice by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) due to concerns over the safety of their aircraft engines.

According to a spokesperson for the CAAN, the decision to ground the planes was made after an incident on Thursday where one of the planes had to make an emergency landing due to a fire in its engine.

The CAAN has directed Shree Airlines to conduct thorough security checks of all their aircraft engines before they are allowed to resume flights.

The airline has already cancelled three out of their scheduled 14 flights for Friday.

However, the manager of Shree Airlines, Anil Manandhar, has expressed frustration over delayed notice from the CAAN, citing inconvenience caused to their passengers.
