Jazeera Airways halts daily flight at Gautam Buddha International Airport



KATHMANDU: Jazeera Airways has stopped the only daily flight from the Gautam Buddha International Airport (GBIA).

Due to the lack of passengers, the airline has stopped the daily flights and now the flights will be operated three times a week.

After Jazeera Airways canceled the flights scheduled for October 12 to October 14, passengers, including the ones going for foreign employment, were also affected.

Jazeera did not fly even though the passengers stayed overnight at GBIA and waited for the plane.

Govinda Prasad Dahal, General Manager of GBIA, said that the airline flew one flight on Saturday carrying only a few tourists among the passengers who had gathered for three days.

Dahal said that the official representative of Jazeera Airways informed the airport that the regular flight will be affected as the lease of the aircraft has expired and they are in the process of purchasing a new aircraft.

He said that Jazeera will not be able to fly regularly in the month of October and said that he has been assured that the flights will be regular after October.
