Welcome to AOCN

✈️ Introduction to AOCN

Airline Operators Committee Nepal (AOCN) was established as a subcommittee of Board of Airlines Representatives in Nepal (BARN) in 1990 A.D. This committee was formed with the aim of addressing the common concern of operating carriers and other stakeholders while operating into Nepal. The committee represents the collective voice of airline operators to liaise with different authorities and parties for safe, secure, and cost-effective operations. All airlines operating into Nepal can become members of this committee to raise common concerns in order to improve airline operations.

🏛 Executive Structure

The committee is led by the Executive Board, which consists of 4 Board Members and 7 Executive Members, elected by the members of AOCN for a tenure of 2 years. The Executive Board is entrusted with representing and making decisions on behalf of all member airlines, sub-committees and Associate Members.

AOCN holds a full membership meeting once every month to discuss and share views, issues, updates, and improvements related to airport operations.

One of the primary agendas of this committee is to improve the quality of passengers' journey experience from Nepal by enhancing airport operations and services in accordance with international standards.
