Air China to expand services to Nepal

Air China is preparing to extend its service to Nepal from different Chinese cities from early next year.

Quoting General Manager of Kathmandu office of Air China, Qiao Shuwen, Chinese official news agency Xinhua said the airline would operate one flight every day from Lhasa to Kathmandu during July-October 2007.

The Chinese airliner has been operating flights on Lhasa-Kathmandu route during the high tourism season only.

“It will also give continuity to four flights a week in March- June, which it has been operating at present in other seasons as well,” Shuwen said.

According to Shuwen, passengers can fly to Chinese cities Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Qingdao and other major cities from Kathmandu on the same day once China Air expands its services. nepalnews.com mk Nov 29 06
