Nepal Airlines, the state-owned carrier of Nepal, will be resuming flights to Dubai, four years after it cancelled services due to fleet reliability issues. ANTA Travels, the airlines’ local sales agent in Dubai, confirmed that the first flight to Dubai will resume from Kathmandu, Nepal on August 18 and reach Dubai on August 19, 2016. The airline has acquired a 158-seat A320 to operate three weekly services between Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu, and Dubai. Nepal Airlines will commence operation from Dubai Terminal 2 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 4.10 am. The flight schedules and fares are updated in Sabre, Galileo and Amadeus reservation systems. The A320 will consist of 150 Economy Class and 8 Business Class seats in every flight. There will be complementary meals offered for all the passengers. It will operate as a full service carrier. Initially the bulk of passengers will be Nepalese working in the UAE but by next March there are plans to promote tourism within the two destinations. More on this will be revealed in our print version in September.
