This follows a similar incident during May when both 757s were out of commission also.
Quote: Nepal Airlines Grounded By Technical Problems
08/01/2007
Nepal Airlines Corp. is suspending all international flights for a week because its two long-haul Boeing 757-200s are out of action due to technical problems.
One 757 is grounded due to engine problems and the other needs to go to Brunei for a month for a C-check.
Domestic flights have also remained non-operational for the past four days following employees agitating for management to buy new aircraft. NAC has seven DHC-6-Twin Otters with 19 seats.

Wow, thats the first time I have ever heard the 757 referred to as a "long haul" aircraft. Though I guess in comparison the DHC-6...
Any data on what the 'Engine Problem' is and what engines they have on their 757s?

Really?? Now that was a pact I had not previously known. I knew that the B757 Combi existed, but I thought there was more than 1 copy. Any idea how many seats in that thing?

RNA has dropped 'R' lately after the Maoists entered a power-sharing agreement in the country. However, with the huge amount of internal strife that has racked the country since their last king was assassinated/murdered has meant that the airline has suffered as a result. There are some smaller airlines but they mainly feed off India-Nepal traffic. Quite sad actually, because their 752's were for a long time the only 757's we used to see in DEL.

I apologize. I see what you meant the first time. Takes a bit for the light to go off.
I hope things get better for NA. Hate to see an airline struggle for some politics.

Mel,
Why don't they bring their 757s to India for maintenance?
