Nepal's Domestic flights was resume after a span of 2 months

After a gap of over two months, the domestic terminal building of the Kathmandu airport in Nepal, on Thursday, bustled with activity again as Nepal resumed domestic flights, with 50% seating capacity.

Regular domestic flights were suspended from May 3, days after prohibitory order was imposed in Kathmandu valley due to the spread of Covid-19. As per the decision, the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil aviation, resumed regular domestic flights from Thursday (July 1), as well as air services to various destinations in the country.

"Resumption of flight has brought more relief for us. Lockdown had brought life to stand still for many people, now the flights are back on schedule it has eased our transport mode. As the long route vehicles are yet to hit the road, this has solved the question about how to reach the destination," Aarti Devi Poudel, a passenger who arrived at airport for her flights told ANI.
