Air services resume from Suketar after three weeks
By Chandra Pandak
Taplejung, Apr 16 : Air services have resumed at Suketar Airport, in Taplejung district, from Friday after three weeks of obstruction.
The obstruction was caused by the bad weather.
“Dense fog had affected the air transportation to be operated from the airport.
The weather got cleared on Friday and the services have resumed,” said Lokendra Limbu, station in charge of Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) in Taplejung.
With the gradual improvement in the weather, three flights from Kathmandu-Taplejung took place on Friday from Suketar, informed Limbu.
The obstruction had also affected tourists expecting to visit Mount Kanchenjunga.
Passengers were also bound to return after waiting for hours for several days due to unfavorable weather.
The NAC has been operating Kathmandu-Taplejung air services every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from Suketar.
The airport is at a height of 2,400 meters due to which the air transport service gets affected by fog.
