The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has announced that domestic flights will be operated on a “need basis” tomorrow, coinciding with the House of Representatives election. The aviation authority emphasized that international flights will operate normally, except for destinations in Gulf countries.
Domestic Flights to Operate as Needed
CAAN clarified that all domestic flights will be adjusted according to demand to ensure smooth travel while maintaining safety during the election. Passengers are advised to check with airlines for updated schedules before planning their journeys.
International Flights Unaffected, Except the Gulf Region
International flights are expected to operate as usual, with the exception of flights to and from Gulf countries, where tensions have led to some disruptions. CAAN has updated the flight schedules considering the operational situation at airports in West Asian destinations.
Impact of Gulf Tensions on Flights
Several international flights have already been affected due to rising geopolitical tensions in the Gulf region. Travelers are urged to stay informed about possible schedule changes and flight cancellations, particularly those traveling to affected regions.
Advisory for Passengers
CAAN recommends that passengers confirm their flight status in advance and plan accordingly. The authority assured that all efforts are being made to minimize disruptions and ensure safe and timely travel for all passengers.
