Construction of a fuel depot at Tarigaun airport in Dang district has reached in its final stage, officials said. The airport is developing a fuel depot with the capacity to store 30,000 liters of fuel.
Engineer Suraj Shah said the depot started a year ago is completed soon and would be brought into operation after the technical test of the depot.
New Driven MC Phalgunanda Construction Company is developing the depot by winning the tender bidding at Rs 15 million.
To the lack of fuel depot, the aviation fuel is being carried from Kathmandu in the plane itself. “Now, the issue will be addressed and the plane fare will also be reduced,” Shah said.
Currently, the airport receives planes five days in a week except for Friday and Saturday. (RSS)
