Director General’s Review
T he year 2019 was an excellent year for the
civil aviation sector in Nepal. However, year
2020 encountered one of the worst crises
in the history of aviation due to global contagion
of Corona Virus. The Nepali civil aviation sector
had to face its consequences in the form of flight
restrictions imposed for about six months.
Before the pandemic, significant growth in air
traffic had been expected with target of two
million foreign tourists since the Government
of Nepal had declared Year 2020 as Visit Nepal
Year. After about six months of lock-down and
prohibitory order, Nepal resumed its international
and domestic flights in September 2020 with
certain restrictions and following strict health
safety measures. Till November 2020, we have
lost about 65 percent of passengers in domestic
sector and about 72 percent of passengers in
international sector compared to those in the
year 2019. This pandemic has also heavily affected
our major infrastructure projects and other
development works.
Against the backdrop of the pandemic, our priority
today is to ensure safety of travelling public and
personnel involved in aviation operations to the
extent possible. So far, we have fared well in
safeguarding the public maintaining operational
safety and the aviation business has begun to gear
up to achieve the normal pace of growth.
Year 2019 was remarkable indeed as the
Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal left its mark
vehemently in the international forums of the civil
aviation sector. Firstly, the 56th conference of
the Directors General of Civil Aviation Authorities
(DGCA) of Asia Pacific Region was successfully
organized at Kathmandu from 19 to 23 August
2019 registering Nepal as the third time organizer
of DGCA conference since its commencement in
1963. Secondly, The Director General of the Civil
Aviation Authority of Nepal was unanimously
elected as the Co- Chair of Asia Pacific Air
Navigation Planning and Implementation Regional
Group (APANPIRG) of ICAO by its 30th meeting
held in APAC Office Bangkok, Thailand from 4 to
6 November 2019. Similarly, Nepal participated in
the 40th session of the ICAO Assembly with Hon.
Minister Mr. Bhattarai addressing the meeting
highlighting Nepal’s endeavors to provide better
air transportation service to its people and
activities carried out to enhance safety of aviation
operation in the country.
This report concisely incorporates activities and
plans of CAAN setting the milestone for future.
Some of the key features of the report have
been summarized under following sub-headings.
Air Traffic Scenario
During this period, CAAN delivered safe and
effective air traffic control services. In 2020
International Aircraft Movement and Passenger
Movement decreased by 74.08% and 68.85%
respectively whereas Cargo Movement increased
by 11.36% compared to those in 2019. On the other
side, Domestic Aircraft Movement, Passenger
Movement and Cargo Movement decreased by
65.71%, 67.36% and 68.31% respectively.
Air Transportation
Nepal signed Bilateral Air Services Agreement
with Australia on 1st October 2019. Since 1963,
Nepal has signed ASAs with 40 countries, with
Australia being the latest signatory.
30 International Airlines (including Nepali
Companies) from 14 countries operate
international flights to/ from Tribhuvan
International Airport. Meanwhile, in the domestic
sector, 19 Domestic Airlines have valid AOC.
Aviation Safety and Security
Through out the year Nepal has moved
significantly ahead regarding SSP implementation.
Second edition of SSP Nepal, in congruence with
Annex 19, second edition, has been issued in
January 2020. CAAN has completed 77.31% of
total required SSP foundation (as per ICAO iSTARs
SSP Implementation Dashboard). Pursuant to the
three phased SSP Implementation Plan, CAAN
CAAN Report 2019-20 5
 is almost at the end of its second phase of SSP
Implementation. First round of exclusive SMS
audit of the airline operators (fixed plus rotor) has
been completed and the audit has been running
for the second consecutive year now. During
2019, CAAN performed various activities for safety
enhancement including a “Safety Campaign” in
collaboration with Airlines Operator Association
of Nepal (AOAN) and World Food Programme
(WFP) organizing various trainings, workshops
and seminars throughout the year.
The diversity of weather patterns together with
hostile topography are the main challenges
surrounding domestic aircraft operations in Nepal.
The topographical complexity of remote Nepal
allows only altiports that can serve small aircraft.
In the past, the rate of accident relating to the
small passenger aircraft with 19 seats or less was
comparatively high. With joint initiative of CAAN
and airline operators, number of accident and
fatalities in STOL operations has been reduced
significantly now.
From 16 to 25 October 2019, International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) conducted aviation
security audit of Nepal under its Universal
Security Audit Program, Continuous Monitoring
Approach (USAP-CMA) to evaluate aviation
security system and degree of compliance with
annex 17 standards and security related provision
of annex 9 after second cycle audit of 2010. The
36th Meeting of National Civil Aviation Security
Committee was also convened in 13 August 2019
which approved sixth edition of National Civil
Aviation Security Program, second edition of
National Civil Aviation Quality Control Program
and the Second edition of National Civil Aviation
Training Program.
Air Navigation Services
Modernization of Air Navigation Services has
been a key priority for CAAN. VHF air-ground
communication coverage has been significantly
expanded with the commissioning of RCAG-
West and RCAG-East stations at Nepalgunj and
Biratnagar airports respectively in the recent past.
Of the two MSSR-Mode-S Radar Systems that
have was commissioned on 1st February 2018,
one has been installed at Tribhuvan International
Airport (TIA) for the Terminal Surveillance (TMSSR)
providing coverage up to 200 nautical miles, while
the other standing atop Mount Bhattedanda
(south of Kathmandu) provides extended En-
6 CAAN Report 2019-20
route surveillance (EMSSR) coverage up to 250
nautical miles.
Four ADS-B sensors have been installed at major
domestic hub airports and are being brought into
operation soon.
PBN implementation plan has been developed as
per the guidelines of ICAO’s Regional as well as
Global PBN Implementation Plans. RNAV terminal
application have been implemented at TIA
(VNKT), Biratnagar (VNVT), Dhangadi(VNDH) and
Chandragadi (VNCG). ATS automation has been
introduced at TIA.
Airport Development and Facilitation Expansion
The physical and financial progress of Gautam
Buddha international Airport (GBIA), as of
November 2020, is about 93% and 63%
respectively despite notable obstructions like
COVID-19 pandemic and Earthquake of 2015.
Similarly, Pokhara regional International Airport
has achieved physical and financial progress
of 66% and 50.27% respectively. As for Nijgadh
International Airport, the first phase development
works such as acquisition of land, fencing work,
tree and pole enumeration in the project site have
been accomplished partially.
Rehabilitation of Runway and Taxiways of
Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) was
completed in December 2019. The scope of the
rehabilitation project was to upgrade the Runway
and most of the Taxiways to replace the existing
deteriorated asphalt pavement with new polymer

Data Center for CAAN

A Data Center for CAAN is under construction

at Tribhuvan International Airport, at
the Operation Building next to the Briefing
Room. The Project for The Supply, Installation
and Commissioning of Modular Data Center,
Networking and Data Security Infrastructure
(NCB-01-CPMD-2076/077) was initiated on 26th
May, 2020.
A data center is a dedicated space used to house
computer systems and associated components,
such as telecommunications and storage systems.
Since IT operations are crucial for business
continuity, it generally includes redundant or
backup components and infrastructure for
power supply, data communication connections,
environmental controls and various security
devices.
The data center CAAN is building is a modular one.
Modular data center systems consist of purpose-
engineered modules and components to offer
scalable data center capacity with multiple power
and cooling options. Modules can be shipped
to be added, integrated or retrofitted into an
existing data center or combined into a system of
modules. Modular data centers typically consist
of standardized components.
Once the data center for CAAN is completed, it
will be the central repository for data. This project
is intended to develop the ICT infrastructure with
proper networking and data security infrastructure
and to integrate into a single infrastructure
monitoring system. Placed at TIA, the data
center will connect systems and applications at
Head Office with all other intended airports and
will act as a data repository, backup and central
connection for all other applications and systems
at CAAN.

 CDM Software in TIA: An Aid for ATC
Automation
N ew technologies, digitization and artificial
intelligence are the major contributors for
enhancing capacity and efficiency of overall air
traffic control system. In order to achieve supposed
competitive advantages, it seems appealing to
implement new technologies for balancing the
demand and capacity in air transportation.
Successful Introduction of a prototype web-based
CDM-Software at TIA in Oct. 2019 along with
various interaction and familiarization programs
organized between ATCOs and Domestic/
International Operators have facilitated
the sharing of accurate, timely and quality
information between these major stakeholders in
order to achieve common situational awareness
and to improve operational efficiency and traffic
predictability. The software has supported
efficient use of resources along with individual
access, understanding the preferences and
constraints among stakeholders. It has helped for
coordinated, collaborative and effective execution
of flight movement analysis and planning that has
resulted in significant reduction in ground delays
of the traffics.
The surge of automation efforts started with
the introduction of DIFLIS- Electronic flight Strip
System against the use of age-old system of
paper-strip. This system has supported ATCOs
with an enhanced workflow, dramatically
replacing the relevant information sharing and
the coordination works by silent communications.
Similarly, Infomax- Integrated Information system
with consistent user interface has reduced visual
workload of the controllers by integrating ATC-
related information including meteorological data,
AMHS messages & NOTAMS, information from
NavAids& ATIS, access to soft copies of essential
documents, integrated airfield lighting monitoring
& control capabilities, ultimately reducing the
CWP cluttering.

Nepal Aviation Safety Campaign
(NASC) - 2019
Nepal Aviation Safety Campaign (NASC), a joint
initiative of Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal
(CAAN), Airlines Operators Association of Nepal
(AOAN), and World Food Programme (WFP), has
been a major programme for safety enhancement
in Nepal since 2013. NASC was organized in May
2012, June 2014, February 2016, June 2017 and
August 2018.
The Campaign used to be organized as a single
program including various trainings every year
on aviation safety related topics. Feeling the
need to organize safety activities throughout
the year, the NASC modality has been changed
from 2019 and CAAN, along with its co-partners
AOAN and WFP, has been conducting trainings for
the whole year through. In 2019, three trainings
namely "Root Cause Analysis", "Aviation Audit"
and "Aircraft Maintenance Reliability" have been
organized from 25-27 September, 2-6 December
and 16-20 December respectively. Several other
topics of trainings have mutually been identified
by the aviation stakeholders. The Campaign shall
organize trainings and workshops on such topics
of mutual interest in 2019 and in the years to
come.
on 21st December 2020, participants from the co-
partners including CAAN, AOAN, WFP joined in an
online programme to mark the beginning of safety
campaign for the year 2021. The programme
included presentation on ‘Human Factor and
Decision Making’, ‘Bussiness Continuity and the
Adverse Imapct of COVID-19’ and ‘Managing
Safety during Pandemic -Nepal’s Experience’.
Hundreds of participants from aviation fraternity
have been benefitting directly from the NASC.
