UK Government Pledges to Resume Direct Flights between London and Kathmandu
The UK Government has announced plans to resume direct flights between London and Kathmandu, strengthening air connectivity between the two nations. Gareth Thomas, the UK’s Small Business Minister, confirmed that efforts would be initiated to reinstate the much-anticipated direct flights, which are expected to boost tourism, trade, and business links between the UK and Nepal. This significant development comes after extensive discussions between UK parliament members and representatives from Nepal, recognizing the importance of direct air travel for both countries. The move is seen as a key step in enhancing bilateral relations, making travel more accessible for Nepali nationals in the UK and British citizens wishing to visit Nepal.
