- Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle announced a mid‑January 2027 deadline for dividing the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal into separate regulatory and service‑provider bodies, after the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal Bill and the Air Service Authority of Nepal Bill were approved by the finance ministry and forwarded to the Law Ministry about two months ago.
- Parliament’s prorogation has postponed discussion and passage of the bills until the next winter session, while the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP) audit is scheduled for May next year, requiring countries to freeze legal and regulatory documents six months before the audit and to upload updated regulations, procedural guidelines and self‑assessment checklists to ICAO’s Online Framework four to six months prior.
