Nepal Airlines’ aircraft debt has climbed to about $368 million, even as revenues have improved. The latest update puts the carrier’s heavy liabilities back at the centre of its financial recovery challenge, with the debt load remaining the dominant commercial issue for the Kathmandu-based airline.
The new figure gives a sharper picture of the pressure facing the flag carrier, which continues to struggle under a large aircraft-related balance-sheet burden. Improved turnover offers some relief, but it has not yet eased the underlying debt problem.
The development comes amid continuing scrutiny of the airline’s financial position in Nepal, where its liabilities have remained a recurring concern. The stronger revenue trend and the rising debt total now define a mixed picture: better trading, but still a severe financing strain.
