Stating that the aircraft is obliged to carry over half the passenger capacity of the aircraft, NAC said the fare has naturally become a bit expensive. The airfare of Kathmandu-Narita sector for business class is Rs 152,000 and for economy class the fare has been set at Rs 119,700.


The airline has warned that if any person or company is found to have sold or distributed tickets for more than the stipulated price, action will be taken as per the rules.
