Weekly three flights to be operated at Resunga airport

Tamghas, May 12: Weekly three flights are to be operated from Resunga airport in Gulmi in view of the increasing number of passengers.

Suman Thapa, the Resunga Airport Station Head, said that even though weekly flights have been operated, the service will be provided three times a week, on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, considering the increasing number of passengers in recent times.

Nepal Airlines Corporation has been unable to operate services regularly due to a shortage of aircraft. The national flag-carrier has been operating flights from its Twin Otter aircraft. Regular flights have resumed after the maintenance of Nepal Airlines' aircraft.

The air fare from Resunga to Kathmandu is Rs 7,080 and Rs 7,280 vice-versa.

Manoj Karki, a local, said the news of operation of three flights a week has brought excitement among the Gulmi folks. The Corporation's 18-seat capacity aircraft is scheduled to fly from Kathmandu to Resunga at 6:10 am and from Resunga to Kathmandu at 7:15 am. (RSS)
