Domestic flights to resume from July 1

The domestic airline industry is going to resume the service from July 1.

Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Civil Aviation (MoTCA) started preparations to resume domestic flights from July 1, following the cabinet decision to allow the flights.

The domestic airlines are allowed only fifty per cent passenger as a safety measure against the Covid-19 spread. The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) directed the airlines to ensure the implementation of all necessary safety protocols.

The authority has also provided airline staffers a week to reside out of the Kathmandu valley to return to their work stations in line with the readjusted timing of the resumption of domestic flights.

The airline companies, welcoming the government decision, started ticket booking.

Likewise, the ministry has also allowed the international flights to resume their services from tomorrow.
