“We competed withAir Indiawhen we flew to this destination 6 years ago. Now that Air India has pulled out, we see a commercial opportunity and have decided to resume the flights,” Rupesh Shrestha, director of Sales and Marketing at Buddha Air, was quoted as saying by the Republica daily. “The airline is actively working towards that end,” he added.
The journey between the Nepalese capital and the bustling Indian metropolis takes just 1 hour and 25 minutes, making it an efficient and convenient option for travellers exploring cultural and spiritual experiences across borders.
Buddha Air operates regular flights to Varanasi, another major Indian destination. According to reports, the airline has also expressed ambitions to expand its footprint in India further, with future connections being considered for cities like Guwahati and Lucknow—signalling a broader vision for enhanced regional connectivity.
