FP - Royal Nepal Airlines 1996

[eduardo85]

Well, this is the thing, I found the info from the airline memorabilia blogspot:

airline-memorabilia.blogspot.com/2012/06/royal-air-nepal-1996.html

However, it seems like the timetable has the international flights only and it seems like they also were operating DHCs but the schedules are not listed.

I wonder if it is ok to just send what I have, which is the following:

VNKT,N27* 41.83',E85* 21.46',4390

There are no 727 in 1996. wikipedia

I'm not sure if this says, but I do know they leased an A310 right around this particular time.

[eduardo85]

Yes, it is weird because the timetable states 727.

[perficad]

This is rather strange r.e. the Boeing 727 issue, as I just compiled Royal Nepal also for this season using the OAG instead. They list flights on A310, 727, and 757. However the 727 is supposed to have been retired in 1992. Yet in this link above to the airlines very own timetable they list a 727 also, just like the OAG does. Any more ideas on this?

[sunking]

According to aerobernie.bplaced.net/Royal%20Nepal%20Airlines.html

They had two Boeing 727s post 1992 until at least 1994. So it may not be impossible that 9N-ABN was used as a back up aircraft post 1994, as the possibility of successful selling such - even by then - old aircraft was near impossible.

Kind regards.
