Taplejung, April 6: Flights have been resumed at local Suketar Airport from today after a hiatus of about four months.
Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC), the national flag-carrier, which had been operating regular flights to Suketar, suspended its flights since the second week of December 2024 after two of its aircraft were out of order.
A plane that came here from Kathmandu with five passengers on board has left for Kathmandu with two female and four male passengers today, Suketar Civil Aviation Office stated.
The domestic and foreign visitors as well as the general people were deprived of air travel due to the halt in air service for long.
Sita Air and Tara Air used to operate flights to this airport during the main tourism season until a few years back. These two private airlines companies no longer operate flights to this airport.
