Karhmandu: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation of India (DGCA) on Wednesday gave its go-ahead to Nepal Airlines to land at Delhi airport.
Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) Managing Director Madan Kharal said it received the flight permit confirmation from India on Wednesday evening, with effect from February 25.
NAC, which had planned to resume its Kathmandu -Delhi flight after nearly a year’s gap from Wednesday (8:00 am), was forced to postpone its maiden Airbus A320 flight after the Indian authority asked for a few documents to get the permission to land at Delhi airport.
Around 130 passengers had booked for the flight to the Indian Capital. “It was an accident. However, the Indian authority responded quickly to the Nepal government’s request,” Kharel said.
In a press statement, the corporation expressed its apologies for the inconvenience caused to the passengers. Kharel said almost all travellers who had booked Wednesday’s flight were flown to Delhi on other airlines. “With the DGCA’s approval, NAC’s Delhi flight will start from Friday,” said Kharel.
