Aviation Minister Kirati pledges to launch NAC flights from GBIA

BHAIRAHAWA: Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Sudan Kirati has said the Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) will launch its flight from Gautam Buddha International Airport (GBIA). Following his inspection at the airport today, Minister Kirati pledged to take initiative towards that end once he reached Kathmandu. Talking to mediapersons briefly at the airport, the Minister said he will inquire about the possible reason(s) why the national flag carrier has yet to reach the airport for its services. He assured that NAC would launch its services targeting the airport soon. The Aviation Minister said efforts were ongoing to bring other airline companies here.  During the foreign minister’s Sri Lanka visit, efforts were also made for the operation of Colombo-Bhairahawa-Colombo flight. The Minister vowed to address diplomatic and technical issues for the operation of the airport and provide all necessary support towards that end. It may be noted that Jazeera Airways and Himalaya Airlines which were providing regular flights to and from the airport suspended services in December 2022 citing adverse atmospheric conditions.
