Simrik Airlines (Kathmandu) has resumed operations after the Nepali cabinet approved the renewal of its expired Air Service License (ASL). The country's Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation then proceeded with the renewal despite earlier concerns legal hurdles could protract the process.
Simrik Airlines was forced to suspend flights earlier this month after its ASL was found expired by more than fourteen months. In a statement issued at the time, it said it had intended to complete the process last year only to be sidetracked by the Gorkha earthquake and its economic impact.
The carrier operates Beech 1900Ds and Do228s on regular passenger flights to Lukla, Pokhara International, Bhairahawa, and Jomsom domestically.
