The internal flights, which were temporarily halted since Tuesday afternoon, recommenced early this morning, bringing much-needed respite to thousands of stranded travelers. This resumption marks a significant step towards normalcy following a period of heightened security concerns and disruptions.
While international flights had already resumed from Wednesday afternoon, the reopening of the domestic sector was particularly awaited by people needing to travel within the country.
According to officials at Tribhuvan International Airport, the domestic terminal has been a hub of activity since the first flights of the day.
Airlines, including major carriers like Buddha Air, Yeti Airlines, and Shree Airlines, are now operating their regular schedules to various destinations across the country.
The suspension of flights, which was a result of recent circumstances, had led to a backlog of passengers. Airlines had already begun reopening ticket bookings yesterday, allowing passengers to re-plan their journeys.
With the resumption of operations, the domestic terminal is bustling with a large crowd, a familiar sight at TIA during peak travel seasons, but now amplified by the accumulated demand.
Adding to the smooth flow of passengers is the lifting of the curfew in Kathmandu, which was in effect until 10 AM today. The temporary relaxation of restrictions has made it considerably easier for travelers to reach the airport from different parts of the city.
The ability for people to move freely has played a crucial role in managing the large number of passengers seeking to board their flights.
Airport authorities are working diligently to manage the crowd and ensure a seamless travel experience. They have issued a public request to all travelers, urging them to carry their flight tickets and valid identification documents.
This measure is in place to expedite the check-in and security processes, ensuring that the heavy passenger flow does not lead to unnecessary delays.
The full-scale resumption of domestic flights is a positive sign for the country’s transportation sector and a major convenience for the public.
It signifies a return to routine and provides a vital link for communication and business across different regions of Nepal. The swift action by the airport authorities and airlines to get back on track is a commendable effort to serve the traveling public.
As more flights take off and land, the airport is slowly but surely regaining its bustling rhythm, connecting people to their homes, families, and destinations across the country.
