With this, the schedule of the business people traveling to many places has been disturbed.
The uncertainty and long wait for better visibility have forced many to opt for road transportation. However, the sorry state of Narayangadh-Mugling, the major entry road to Kathmandu Valley has added further woes to them.
Nearly 5,000 people travel through domestic flights every day. There are 18 aviation companies including helicopters for the domestic flights.
However, the international flights are regular. A total of 30 companies are conducting the international flights in Nepal. RSS
