Nepal Airlines halts Delhi-bound flight due to cabin crew strike
A Delhi-bound flight from Nepal was halted by Nepal Airlines Corporation on Thursday due to a strike called by the flag carrier’s cabin crew association.
The Kathmandu-Delhi flight, scheduled for 1:30 pm was temporarily suspended, Nepal Airlines spokesperson Archana Khadka told PTI.
The cabin crew are demanding job security and an extension of their contract period, news portal Ratopati.com reported.
The flight was expected to leave at 8 pm after the airline management addressed some of the crew’s demands, Khadka said.
On Wednesday too, a Kathmandu to Delhi flight was halted for a few hours because of the strike.
