Kathmandu, 10 October: Indian ambassador Vinay Mohan Kwatra called on Tourism and Civil aviation Minister Yogesh Bhattarai on Friday at the Ministry. During the meeting, the two dignitaries discussed finalizing the entry and exit air routes for aircraft bound to Nepal. 

Nepal is seeking air routes via Bhairahawa, Nepalgunj and Mahendranagar for using the Indian sky.

During the meeting, the Indian envoy informed that the deal is going to be finalized soon, reports Gorkhapatra daily. 

Nepal and India on 16 June 2018, had inked an agreement for providing additional four routes by India to Nepal. As per the agreement, the Nepal bound aircraft could use the Indian sky via Mahendranagar, Nepalgunj, Janakpur and Biratnagar. Presently, all the aircraft bound to Nepal should enter Nepal via Simara route only. 

However, while flying to the third countries from Nepal, the aircraft are using Mahendranagar and Bhairahawa oneway routes.

Nepal is demanding for both-way use of these routes.
