Buddha Air, today, imported
another ATR 72-500 aircraft to enhance its services.
"Now, the private domestic
airlines has three ATR 72s, three ATR 42s and three B1900D pressurised aircraft
making it a total of nine aircraft in its fleet,” according to the airlines.
With the new addition, the
airlines is projecting its share in the domestic market to increase from the
current 67 per cent to 75 per cent in the pressurised turboprop segment.
"However, we will not add
any new destination with the additional ATR 72,” it said, adding that it will
now be better positioned to create a more on-time dispatch with the additional
aircraft. "Earlier, we had been facing sporadic flight delays due to over
congestion at Tribhuwan International Airport. That problem will be resolved
from now onwards," it claimed.
The airlines will also start
operating daily flights to Dhangadi from this Thursday with ATR 72s instead of
ATR 42s.
