KATHMANDU, Aug 7: In response to the escalating conjunctivitis outbreak nationwide, Himalaya Airlines has taken decisive action to prioritize passenger health and safety. The airline has now made a 'fit to fly' medical report mandatory for all passengers boarding its regular flights.

Due to the highly contagious nature of conjunctivitis and the risk of rapid transmission, Himalaya Airlines has announced the requirement for passengers to present an airworthiness certificate issued by recognized health posts. This measure aims to mitigate the spread of the infection and ensure the well-being of both passengers and crew.

Health organizations have reported a significant increase in conjunctivitis cases across the country over the past week, prompting the airline to take precautionary steps to protect travelers and curb the further dissemination of the virus.

With four aircraft in its fleet, Himalaya Airlines serves a range of destinations, including the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bangladesh, and China.
