Flights affected due to unfavourable weather

KATHMANDU, AUGUST 23: The continuous rainfall has led to a general disruption of domestic flights, as reported by the Tribhuvan International Airport Office. The primary reason for the flight disruptions is the low visibility caused by the prevailing weather conditions.

Pratap Babu Tiwari, the General Manager of TIA, stated that domestic flights have been temporarily suspended due to unfavorable weather conditions. However, he mentioned that international flights have been operating as usual.

Various airline companies have informed that several domestic flights to different destinations have been canceled today.
