Buddha Air is operating a transit flight from Biratnagar and Bhadrapur of Province 1 to Pokhara from January 1.
Chief Minister of Province 1 Sherdhan Rai – at a meeting today – announced that flights will operate from Biratnagar and Bhadrapur to Pokhara with transit in Kathmandu. Biratnagar is the capital of Province 1 whereas Bhadrapur is former headquarters of Jhapa district.
The inter-province flights were being initiated by Province 1, he said, adding that the flights will make travelling to Muktinath and other places easier for tourists from eastern Nepal and different Indian provinces. “Though there will be transit flights for the time being, there will be direct flights in the future.”
Rai also hoped these flights to contribute to the development of tourism sector.
Likewise, minister for Industry, Tourism, Forest and Environment Jagadish Kusiyat – on the occasion – asked Buddha Air to operate direct flights. The tourists from Province 1 and different Indian cities want to visit Pokhara, Muktinath and other tourist destinations in huge numbers, he said, asking the airline to operate mountain flight from Biratnagar and regular flights from all airports of Province 1.
Tourism entrepreneurs also asked Buddha Air to start Biratnagar-Delhi flights as well to promote Visit Nepal Year 2020 (VNY2020).
The number of people travelling from Biratnagar to Delhi is huge and direct flight to the destination is possible, they said, adding that entrepreneurs and tourists travel to Delhi through Bagdogra International Airport currently.
On the occasion, managing director of Buddha Air Birendra Bahadur Basnet said that the Biratnagar-Pokhara transit flight is being operated as a test flight. Informing that the test flight will be operated for six months, he said that Buddha Air will take the responsibility of food and accommodation of the passengers travelling in the transit flight from Biratnagar and Bhadrapur, if the flight to Pokhara does not take off due to delay or bad weather. “Direct flight from Biratnagar to Pokhara will be operated only after 6 months of test flight.”
Buddha Air is also preparing to start transit flights to all provinces from Biratnagar.
