Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) has decided to conduct flights to Hong Kong and New Delhi from the Gautam Buddha International Airport located in Bhairahawa.

The Corporation has opened bookings for regular flights effective from August 29. Initially, there will be only one flight a week from Bhairahawa.

To be operated every Tuesday initially, the Corporation plans to increase this flight according to the market demand and the corporation's market management.

According to the flight schedule, the flight departed from Bhairahawa at 8:15 am, and will land in Kathmandu at 9:00 am.

Hong Kong-bound passengers will board the Hong Kong-bound flight and Delhi-bound passengers will board the Delhi-bound flight.

Issuing a press note on Sunday, the NAC said it has decided to start the flight in coordination with the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation.

The Gautam Buddha Airport, which was built under the project of National Pride, is currently operating flights to Malaysia and other countries. Flights to Malaysia are operated by Nepal Airlines.

Kuwait's Jazeera Airways started operating flights from this airport on the inaugural day last May. Similarly, Himalaya Airlines conducted flights to Kuala Lumpur from this airport for some days. 

However, the both airlines companies stopped operating flights after a few days.
