Dang, Sept 9: The state-owned Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) is going to operate flights to Tarigaon Airport in Tulsipur once a week only.
Flights between Tarigaon and the federal capital, Kathmandu will take place only on Fridays, said the Corporation’s head in Dang Bal Bahadur Sunar. This is due to lack of aircrafts with NAC, as one of the aircraft has been grounded.
The aircraft on Friday will arrive at 12:00 noon to Tarigaon and return at 12:20. The fare from Dang to Kathmandu is Rs 7,100 fare and Rs. 7,250 from Kathmandu to Dang, Sunar said.
There have been frequent calls to make air services to the airport regular. The airport was established in 2011 BS with a 750 meters runway, accommodating only 19-seater aircrafts.
