Himalaya Airlines launched its service connecting Kathmandu to Changsha, the capital of central China’s Hunan province, from today.
As the Nepal-China joint venture international airline explores its new markets before the Visit Nepal Year 2020, it aims at promoting and capturing the outbound tourism potential of the province into Nepal, according to vice president – Administration Vijay Shrestha.
“With the new service, Nepalis will have a convenient, economical and direct connection to explore this new destination in China,” the airlines said, adding that it introduced its newest flight route between Kathmandu and Changsha, after Guiyang.
Himalaya Airlines flies every Wednesday from Kathmandu to Changsha and back, it adds.
The maiden flight today departed from Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) at 11:03 hours and touched down Changsha Huanghua International Airport (CSX) at 17:19 hours (local time). The return flight departed from CSX at 18:28 hours (local time) and touched down TIA at 21:23 hours on the same day.
“Apart from Beijing and Guiyang, we believe Kathmandu needs more connectivity to other cities of China; in order to take optimum advantage of China’s travel potential,” Shrestha said, adding that the new route will strengthen the Nepal-China connectivity.
