An airline with only one plane flying to over half a dozen international destinations? Before you snigger, consider that that is exactly what the Royal Nepal Airlines Corporation has been doing since 26 November, after it sent one of its two Boeing 757s for its regular maintenance regimen. Royal Nepal axed its flights to Bangalore and Bombay-two new destinations where it decided to concentrate after cancelling long hauls to Europe in September-and cut down flights to New Delhi to make up for the aircraft shortage. Royal Nepal can do this and get away with it because, unlike private companies that value consumer confidence to continue doing business in the long run, the state-run airline has little incentive to be businesslike. As an angry travel agent told us recently, "Why can't we use the emergency to do away with Royal Nepal and let private companies fly the flag-carrier?" Royal Nepal presently flies to Japan, Hong Kong and Bangkok in addition to its India-hops.
