Himalaya Airlines has resumed its direct flights to the capital of Malaysia Kuala Lumpur.
The joint venture between Nepali private sector and China has resumed direct flights to the Malaysian capital from today, according to a press note issued by Himalaya Airlines that has started the direct flights after a long gap due to discontinuation of labour visa permit to Malaysia.
The airlines had started first direct flight to Kuala Lumpur since February 10, 2017 but suspended the service from November 2018, after the government stopped providing labour permit to migrant workers going on foreign employment to Malaysia.
“Himalaya Airlines now resumed the direct flights to make Visit Nepal Year 2020 a grand success,” the press note reads, adding that the airlines aims at drawing tourists from Malaysia to Nepal and contribute to tourism promotion. “The airlines company will operate flight to Kuala Lumpur on Monday and Tuesday.”
Flights between Kathmandu and Kuala Lumpur will also provide important business opportunities to the passengers from both countries, Himalaya Airlines vice president Bijaya Shrestha said, adding that it will play a significant role in promoting bilateral trade, human resources and tourism. “A strong demand from both the markets on the route and with the revised memorandum of understanding between Nepal and Malaysia hints at the possibility of increased passenger traffic on the sector.”
Likewise, the company has also said that with these new flights, the company aims to boost the connectivity of Nepal among Asia-Pacific region.
The airlines company – established in August 2014 – is currently operating flights to eight different destinations from its three A 320 aircraft. It operates flights to Abu Dhabi, Dammam, Doha, Dhaka, Kuala Lumpur, Beijing, Guiyang and Changsha. Himalaya Airlines has also recently started commercial flights to two destinations in China.
According to Shrestha, the airline company plans to add three A319-115 series aircraft to its fleet by 2020 and expand its services to Lhasa.
