Dragon Air, a subsidiary of Cathy Pacific Airways, on Thursday announced to resume direct flights from December this year between Kathmandu and Hong Kong.
Speaking at a press conference, general manager of Cathy Pacific's India office, Tom Wright said, “We see an immense potential in Nepal, as the country continues to grow more popular with travelers around the world.”
According to Wright, the airlines will resume four flights a week from December 2 with an Airbus 320 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. “We are delighted to be flying back to Kathmandu, where we first started serving in 1989,” said Wright.
The resumption of services is expected to help boost the Nepali tourism industry that is reeling from the problems of acute air seat shortage. “Out flights will draw tourists to Nepal from different parts of the world,” said Wright.
Wright also informed that Nepali passengers flying by Dragon Air and Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong to some destinations in South East Asia, UK, Schenzen countries, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand would not require transit visa.
