NAC had discontinued flights between Nepal’s capital Kathmandu and Mumbai in 2006 due to reported lack of aircrafts.

The airline is offering a promotional buy-one-get-one-free on tickets for Kathmandu-Mumbai and Kathmandu-Bengaluru routes.

This promotional offer is valid through the month of September.

Nepal Airlines Corporation had added vital routes like Delhi in February and Bengaluru on September 1. NAC reportedly has plans to add Kolkata to its network soon.

The April earthquake had devastated tourism in the Himalayan country.  With flight services getting resumed in Indian metro cities, it is expected that tourism will get a considerable boost.
