Kathmandu, September 12 — Nepal Airlines' widebody aircraft, which went to Italy for a C-check (technical inspection), has returned to Kathmandu today after two and a half months.

The A330 aircraft, registration 9N-ALY, traveled to Italy on June 22 for its technical checks and is now back in Kathmandu.

The airline's other widebody aircraft is still in Italy undergoing its C-check.

With the return of the widebody aircraft, the airline plans to resume flights to Japan.

Services to Japan had been suspended following the departure of the two widebody aircraft for their C-checks.
