Airlines should not cut corners with safety. There are never accidents like this in the mountainous areas of Europe. Why don't the managing directors of Nepalese companies look at what the standards are in Europe and copy them. It is not funny to mess around with peoples lives. On the Agni Air website they boast of 3 years of no accidents but they have been operating since 2006. That is really bad. Airlines in the west have gone 30 years with no accidents. This is not due to money it is due to rules and regulations being in place. Even if the government do not place rules Agni as an airline should aim to be better not make more money for the people in charge. Labour is much cheaper in Nepal than Europe. Train people who need a job and take more care in your planes!

Or do you feel such activities are more of an inconvenience for the general people who have to bear the brunt of everything in the name of this-cause and that-cause? Give reasons
