The only international airport has come into operation for 22 hours a day from today due to increase in flow of passengers following coming festivals and tourist season.
The Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) has extended its opening hour by an hour, according to the TIA officials. "From today, the operating hours starts from 5:00 am to 3:00 am," it said, adding that the TIA used to be operational for 21 hours daily from 5:00 am to 3:00 am till yesterday. "The government had started operating the only international airport for 21 hours from May 21."
"Although the TIA had remained open from 6:00 am from May 21, the domestic flights were operated only from 7:00 am," informed TIA general manager Raj Kumar Chhetri, adding, "But the flights will now be operated from 6:00 am onwards."
Nepal Airlines and Himalaya Airlines have been operating flights in the additional time, 12:30 am to 3:00 am daily.
The new timing is expected to facilitate smooth movement of domestic flights during the peak tourist season, Chettri said, adding that starting an hour early operation will ease traffic congestion to some extent.
