After Nepal and Australia signed a bilateral agreement on October 2, both the countries have been working on to ensure a direct flight between Kathmandu and Sydney.
Around 150,000 Nepalis currently reside in Australia and in the absence of direct flight between Kathmandu and Sydney, the Nepali community and tourists are forced to visit through various transits.
According to data of the Sydney Airport, the arrival of passengers to Sydney from Kathmandu has reached 121,260 so far this year, which is the largest number, when it comes to those nations lacking a direct flight.
Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) has also conducted a feasibility study of a direct flight between Kathmandu and Sidney. “The distance between Kathmandu and Sidney is approximately 10,000 kilometers,” the study reads, adding that constant discussions are underway on various technical aspects of the project following an agreement.
