KATHMANDU, Jan 8: Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Prem Bahadur Ale has directed the authorities concerned to expand the arrival lounge at the domestic terminal of the Tribhuvan International Airport.

Minister Ale, who was on his way to Bhairahawa, directed TIA authorities to construct the lounge at a wider space considering the increasing flow of passengers at the domestic airport and the risk of COVID-19.

Deputy Director General of Tribhuvan International Airport, Prem Nath Thakur, said they would initiate works to widen the arrival lounge after the domestic terminal.

"The problem has arisen due to the increasing number of passengers flying domestic destinations. Minister Ale instructed them to move it to a wider place. We will move it soon," he said.
