Saurya Airlines has resumed operations following an 18-month suspension after a July 2024 crash in Kathmandu killed 18 passengers. CAAN renewed the airline’s Air Operator Certificate until 2027 after a safety audit score of 65 percent. The airline will initially operate the Kathmandu-Bhadrapur-Biratnagar route with three CRJ-200 aircraft and plans to acquire three ATR-72-600 planes for domestic expansion.
