KATHMANDU: Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Prem Ale today inaugurated a free bus service from the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA).

After inaugurating the service by cutting a ribbon, Minister Ale traveled in the microbus along with other passengers up to the Golden Gate of the Airport.

A free bus service has been started from the airport for domestic passengers.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has launched a free bus service inside the airport after taxis charged exorbitant fees and caused inconvenience to passengers.

Along with the free bus service, a passenger lounge at the airport has also been arranged.
