International airlines can now use telecommunications services in Nepali sky

International airlines will finally be able to use the internet and telecommunications service in the Nepali sky.

The Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA), an autonomous telecommunications regulatory body,

in coordination with the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), the country’s civil aviation regulator has granted permission

for the use of the internet and telecommunications services above 10,000 feet for international airlines in the Nepali sky.

A meeting of the NTA Board of Directors on 22 March took a decision in this regard.

After India and Afghanistan, Nepal is now the third country to grant the service to international airlines in South Asia.

Granting permission to use internet service below 10,000 feet could result in a disturbance in the service on the ground across the country.

To use the service, those willing to avail it should apply to the NTA. At present, three international airlines have applied to the NTA for the service.

The NTA granted the service to the three international airlines after holding talks with the CAAN and bodies under the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology.
