Stating that the operation of air flights is linked to the country's GDP, he said that the number of people going to other airports as an alternative to the Tribhuvan International Airport will be few and far between as long as it is voluntary. He said that Bhairahawa and Pokhara airports will be fully operational if they can move forward with a commitment to provide all services within 500 meters for those going abroad.
