GULMI, Sept 5: Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) has temporarily revised its flight schedule to Gulmi, a district in Lumbini Province. The national flag-carrier has decided to operate only one flight per week to the district, down from four weekly flights previously available on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
