Flights between Sri Lanka and Nepal have resumed following the reopening of Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal, after its temporary closure.
Accordingly, SriLankan Airlines flight UL-181 departed from Katunayake Bandaranaike International Airport at 8:15 a.m. today (11) bound for Kathmandu, Nepal. The flight is scheduled to land at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu at 11:41 a.m. and is expected to return with passengers from Nepal, arriving back at Katunayake at 4:40 p.m. today.
At present, SriLankan Airlines is the only carrier operating direct flights to Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. These services are conducted four days a week — on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
SriLankan Airlines had suspended flights between Sri Lanka and Nepal yesterday (10) following the closure of Nepal’s international airport due to unrest in the country.
As a result, 35 passengers who had arrived at Katunayake Airport yesterday morning to travel to Kathmandu were provided with accommodation and hotel facilities by SriLankan Airlines.
