Kathmandu, March 19: The Sichuan Airlines aircraft landed at the Pokhara Regional International Airport on Tuesday beginning its first commercial chartered flight between Chengdu in China and Pokhara in Nepal.

Led by the Pokhara Tourism Council, Pokhara Metropolitan City, the Chinese Embassy in Nepal, Sichuan Airlines, and the Chinese Association in Nepal have jointly managed the operation of a commercial chartered flight between Pokhara and Chengdu in Sichuan Province, China, for the first time.

Pokhara International Airport, which has been operational for a long time due to the demand of the Pokhara people and the joint efforts of the government and the private sector, has been unable to operate regular international flights for two years since its inauguration. For the first time, 126 passengers flew to Chengdu on the Sichuan Airlines flight on Tuesday, March 18.

Pokhara Tourism Council General Secretary Jeevan Raj Sapkota informed that Sichuan Airlines has already ensured that it will operate three chartered flights from Chengdu in an effort to regularize flights.

The Airline has currently set the fare at Rs 62,000 for chartered flights. The airline has stated that it will introduce a regular schedule with fares after three flights. He expressed confidence that the Pokhara-Chengdu flight will be important for the development of tourism here.
