Entrepreneurs lobby for RNAC privatization
KATHMANDU, Dec 26 - Various private entrepreneurs, experts and government officials including the Vice Chairman of the National Planning Commission and the Executive Chairman of the Royal Nepal Airlines (RNAC), pointed out Tuesday that the national flag carrier with more than Rs 2.5 billion in debt will not be able to keep running any more in its present state. ...

If ultra-nationalist peoples among developed countries are anyone
to be noted, then, Japanese are number one. In such a country
also, to solve the management problem, NISSAN Motors 's
Board of Directors put the famous Brazilian turned to be a French
as head of the company and asked to reform. He first
kicked off all those working chains using personal connection
and fired large number of staffs. The media were flaming
against him, for his outrageous actions. Now, he is quite
famous and his works are appreciated very much.
RNAC on the other hand is suffering from management problem.
For example, when I tried to confirm my flight date on prepurchased
ticket, the staffs at Osaka always tell me to call after one month
and for last 3 months I am calling them over telephone to
confirm my ticket. They ask funny question, "group or individual?"
What does this question means? When I say I am individual
traveller they continue to decline to confirm my tickets. But,
peoples who travel in RNAC even recently say, Air plane
was not really full. Had plenty of seats vacant. Why so?
They told in my recent frustrated telephone enquiry, why
do you always deny me, but, your air planes always return
not full? Their reply was peoples can book in RNAC about
1 and half year back, i.e. till next year end 2002 end the
airline is fully booked, but, those booked guys need to
purchase ticket only one month before the flight. That
means, you can just book the airline and keep your name
there for 1 year and 5 months and at the last 30 days
you can cancel or will be automatically cancelled. So,
you have no obligation of "Wogatne" kaam ko compensation.
The management calls it a complementary ? I wonder to
whom? To me a pre purchased traveller or a person who
just books and never buys the booked seat? What a
management RNAC had? Its policy failure.
God Bless RNAC.
