Ineco collaborates in drafting the National Plan for Nepal’s Civil Aviation Development. It includes a revision of the country’s aeronautic legislation and of the State Aviation Authority.

Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu is the gateway to the Himalayas for thousands of mountaineers visiting the mountain range. It has two terminals where over twenty international air companies operate, connecting Nepal to other destinations in Asia and the Middle East.

Operating deficiencies, lack of personnel and insufficient administrative capacity have increasingly affected the airport’s efficiency. In order to redress these faults, the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal has implemented a restructuring plan, designed to increase airport capacity from its current 2.5 million passengers to 3.5 million by 2015, and to improve quality and safety conditions.

Ineco’s experience as a consultant for airports and air navigation

The Spanish bid was selected in competition with five other bidders from the United States, France, Sweden, Malaysia and Australia, to draw up the Nepalese National Plan for Civil Aviation Development.


Tasks included a review of the country’s aviation legislation which needed to be adapted to international regulations, and the restructuring of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN).

The Ineco team has also undertaken to draw up a new airport plan which includes all the aspects relating to air transport, airport infrastructures, administration of civil aviation and air navigation.
