KATHMANDU, Nov 2: Himalaya Airlines is planning to operate its flights from the Gautam Buddha International Airport (GBIA).

The airline will be flying to Kuala Lumpur as its first international destination from the GBIA. It is expected that the flights will start from Thursday depending on the approval by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), Malaysia and other relevant overflying permits to operate from the GBIA.

For the initial phase, the airline will be operating in the Bhairahawa-Kuala Lumpur-Bhairahawa sector, with expansion to other sectors in the coming future.

Vijay Shrestha, vice-president (administration), through a press statement, said, "We have been rigorously working toward operating our scheduled flights from Bhairahawa. We are very optimistic that Himalaya Airlines’ operation from GBIA will serve better and stronger connectivity of various sectors of Nepal with international destinations, along with the passengers’ convenience.”

He also added that Himalaya Airlines will continue to provide standard in-flight and ground services with Bhairahawa as the newly added sector to its network.
