The national flag-carrier had taken loan from the Employees Provident Fund and Citizens Investment Trust for the two narrow-body and two wide-body aircraft that it purchased, NAC said in a press release.

The NAC has urged the Fund and the Trust to grant concession on the interest and penalty during the COVID-19 period and to facilitate in the loan payment by increasing the number of installments, as there was adverse impact on the airline's business during that period.
