CAAN Souvenir 2010.FH10 - Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal

I am pleased to learn that Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) is observing its12 th Anniversary and as part of various activities, it is publishing a special Souvenirmagazine.The instrumental role of air transport cannot be over emphasized in the context of ourcountry where toprgraphical constraint is the main obstacle for development. Therefore,air transport has been and indispensable vehicle to integrate Nepal with the outsideworld as well as the communities living in the remote areas within the country into themainstream of national development.The importance of civil aviation in Nepal can be realized not only in integrating the nation but also inpromoting tourism which is one of the most income generating sectors in a naturally rich and beautifulcountry like Nepal. Since the world aviation is galloping towards modernization and sophistication, onlyrazor sharp reflexes can help maintain the pace of development in this field. This stands as one of thegreatest challenges in the field of civil aviation in Nepal. I wish Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal all the bestin being able to serve the country by providing safe and efficient aviation services together with keepingpace with the modern world aviation.I wish CAAN will strive to esclate in technology and facilities and will achieve succuss in providing qualityserice to the people remaining within the boundary set by International Civil Aviation Organization and thenational legal provisions.Finally, I would like to congratulate CAAN for its successful completion of 12 years of service and wish ita grand future ahead.Shatrudhn Prasad SinghMinister of State for Tourism and Civil Aviation
