Royal Nepal Airlines Corporation put one of its Boeing 757s at the disposal of King Gyanendra’s recent 21-day tour but it looks like it will get paid only for 48 flying hours. Already on the verge of bankruptcy, the national flag carrier is sure to plunge deeper into crisis thanks to the state’s abuse of authority. According to RNAC officials, the 757 was chartered at the rate of Rs 770,000 per hour. During the 21-day tour, the king used the plane to attend the SAARC summit in Dhaka and then the information summit in Tunisia. He then travelled on to Burundi, South Africa, Tanzania and Egypt. The government is paying the airline only for the hours it was in the air, which totals Rs 37 million. If the plane had flown its scheduled flights during those weeks, RNAC would have earned more than Rs 93 million, according to a senior pilot. This doesn’t even count the ground handling charges, landing and parking fees at various African airports and the airline’s losses for rerouting and cancellation of booked passengers. So the king’s visit cost the airline and ultimately the Nepali people, Rs 56 million. And that is only the airline’s losses.

This is disgusting!
And it proves that kg's promise of good governance and corruption control was only a joke.

Thanks for the facts Mamta. I was one of the person directly impacted by this act of King G. My RA flight was cancelled and I didn't know anything about it until i read it on a newspaper that came as a package of one of the clothes I bought. It red flagged me and I was able to get another flight but not easily...after 5 trips and hours of begging, I got into another RA flight to HKG. THey had to pay $300 (100 per ticket to reroute my flight) to Cathey as far as I know..i know there were tons of others.

What a loss to the country

Mahakal Are you stupid or what? Why are you blaming so called neprikans. The news is coming from NEPALI TIMES.

What kind of FUQN parasite is this KING??

He has no shame in taking money from the poor nepali people
He has no shame in using public company like RNAC for his private expenses
He has no shame taking and taking and taking more money from the Nepali People

What the FUQ has he ever given to the Nepali people? I don't see ONE thing he has done for the Nepali people.

He thinks he is doing a great big favor by making appearances in public and shaking hands with people in public.

Does he not have some common sense? The way he's abusing Nepal and Nepali resources? Such a pathetic murdaar.

Have some fuqn ethics and try to do something good for the nepali people you moron.
