Kathmandu: Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) has announced changes to its flight schedule due to scheduled maintenance work at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). The airport will be closed nightly from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM starting November 8, 2024, prompting adjustments to the airline’s international flight timings.
According to an official notice from NAC, the revised schedule for several international routes includes the following changes:
- Kathmandu-Narita: The departure time will now be 21:15, arriving at 06:50+1, replacing the previous schedule of 23:50/09:25+1.
- Narita-Kathmandu: The new departure time is 09:25, arriving at 14:50, adjusting from the previous 11:25/16:50.
- Kathmandu-Doha: The flight will now depart at 21:30, arriving at 00:25+1, instead of the previous 23:00/01:55+1.
- Doha-Kathmandu: The departure time is adjusted to 02:00, arriving at 08:55, replacing the previous 03:25/10:20.
- Kathmandu-Dubai: The new schedule is set at 21:35, arriving at 02:40+1, changing from the previous 23:15/02:40+1.
- Dubai-Kathmandu: The flight will continue to depart at 04:10, arriving at 09:40, with no change to the arrival time.
The maintenance work at TIA, which requires a nighttime closure of the airport, has necessitated these changes in NAC’s flight operations. Travelers are advised to check with the airline for the most up-to-date information on their flights.
NAC apologizes for any inconvenience caused and encourages passengers to arrive early to accommodate the revised schedules.
