KATHMANDU: Cathay Pacific Airlines is operating a direct flight to Hong Kong-Kathmandu from October 1 after a hiatus of three years, the airlines said.
The flight between Kathmandu and Hong Kong was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic three years ago.
The flag carrier of Hong Kong has already obtained permits from the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) to conduct one flight in a week every Saturday, CAAN has said.
Nepal Airlines is operating flights from Kathmandu to Hong Kong and vice versa now.
Hong Kong is an important destination due to the dominance of the Nepalis diaspora there.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Nepal’s Tribhuvan International Airport witnessed international airlines from 30 nations.
