The Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) has started operating flights on Dhangadhi-Kathmandu route four days in a week.
The NAC, which had failed to operate the Dhangadhi-Kathmandu flight on a regular basis for lack of aircraft, has started providing its services on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday for the past few days.
Dhangadhi Chief of the NAC, Kul Prasad Ojha, said that problem has surfaced sometimes to resume the air services on a regular manner for lack of aircraft. Sometimes the situation develops in which flights have to be postponed on this sector as the NAC has only one big aircraft to operate its services in this 'Trunk Route' or airport in the Tarai region, it is learnt.
Besides the NAC, the private airlines Buddha Air and Yeti Airlines have also been operating flights on this sector. Buddha Air has been operating daily flights while Yeti Airlines has been doing so three days a week.
Meanwhile, the air fare fixed by the national flag-carrier, NAC, is cheaper compared to the private airlines. The NAC has fixed three different air fares - Rs 5,655, Rs 6,255 and Rs 8,465 - per passenger. Those passengers booking the air ticket in advance will get one at the cheper rate of Rs 5,655.
On the other hand, although the air fare fixed by the private airlines is uniform, they have set seven different rates. The air fare fixed by the private airlines ranges from Rs 5,725 to Rs 11,340 per passenger. RSS
