Pokhara-Kathmandu night flight to start from February 23

POKHARA, Feb 14: Pokhara-Kathmandu night flight will be start from Pokhara Regional International Airport (PRIA) from February 23.

According to PRIA chief Bikram Raj Gautam, the instrument-based flight and landing service will be operational at the airport from February 23.

Even after a month and a half of the airport's inauguration, international flights are still in confusion. After the airport came into operation, the excited Pokhara tourism businessmen are starting to get disappointed.

Industrialists, businessmen, parliamentarians and leaders have been raising their voices on this issue, but the hearing has not been done.

Earlier there was no night flight facility in Pokhara. So far, night flights are available only at Terai airport outside Kathmandu in Nepal.

Due to the installation of IFR technology at Pokhara Airport, flights will not be stopped even in low visibility.

With the start of flights from the new airport, it is expected that it will be easier to reach Pokhara from different cities at night and return from Pokhara to other cities.
