As airport reopens, AI and IndiGo add flights

With Nepal’s Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) reopening on Tuesday after being shut due to unrest in the country, Indian airlines will commence operating both scheduled and additional flights.

“The civil aviation ministry had an hour-long meeting with both IndiGo and Air India to discuss the rescue operation. It was then decided that an Air India flight would be leaving for Nepal on Wednesday night itself,” an official close to the development said.
