NECON Avro grounded


A Necon Air HS-748 has been grounded for examination following a tarmac accident on 3 September. The Avro had just arrived from Pokhara when it struck a battery charger belonging to Mountain Air in the apron, injuring a member of a ground crew. The aircraft's propellors were wrecked (see picture). This is not the first time Nepali airliners have had accidents on the ground. Four years ago, a Nepal Airways Avro collided with another one belonging to Necon at Pokhara airport, both aircraft were written off. The accidents point to carelessness and serious overcrowding on the ground as well as in the air. An average of 50 flight take off and land every morning during the rush hour at Kathmandu airport.
