Aircraft Registration and Licensing Procedures in Nepal
The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) regulates the registration, airworthiness certification, and leasing of commercial aircraft.
1. Issuance of National Registration Marks
Every imported aircraft must be registered in the CAAN Civil Aircraft Register, obtaining a unique Nepalese registration mark (9N-).
2. Air Operator Certificate (AOC)
Commercial airlines must secure and maintain an AOC, proving crew training, safety systems, and maintenance compliance.
3. Aircraft Leasing Approval
Wet-lease or dry-lease agreements with foreign aircraft owners must be approved by CAAN to verify compliance with international aviation standards.
