International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has declared Nepal as 7% percent more non-compliant than the global average of 38%.
After an on-site audit during the Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme , ICAO has given a non-compliance rating of 45% to Nepal.
The audit report states that this high rating is due to the negligence of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal [CAAN] in strengthening the mechanism of aviation safety oversight.
CAAN’s failure has also put Nepal in the bad books of the UN aviation watch dog.
