NAC operates chartered flight to Tokyo

Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) is operating first of its two chartered flights to Narita International Airport of Tokyo in Japan today evening.
According to the national flag carrier, NAC’s Airbus A330-200 aircraft will leave Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu for Tokyo at 9:30 pm and return to Kathmandu at 9:30 am tomorrow.
The second chartered flight has been scheduled for October 2, the NAC informed, adding that the two chartered flights have been taken as the national flag carrier’s preparation to fly to Narita International Airport in Tokyo. “NAC has initially showed interest to operate scheduled flights to Tokyo Narita but it launched flights to Osaka after it couldn’t get approval for Tokyo flights.”
The NAC has got at least 100 tickets booking for Narita flights as of today evening.
The national flag carrier currently is operating two flights a week to Osaka due to low passenger turnout. The NAC has launched its first direct flight to Osaka on August 29 with a fixed airfare at Rs 36,900 for one way and Rs 72,814 for a round trip. The national flag carrier had initially launched three flights a week on the sector but it is operating only two flights a week – on Tuesday and Saturdays – currently due to low passenger turnout.
The national flag carrier operates Airbus A330-200 aircraft that can carry 274 passengers per flight but it has around 100 passengers on Kathmandu-Osaka flight.
