Tibet Airlines seeks permission to fly to Ktm
Lhasa-based Tibet Airlines has sought permission from the Ministry of Tourism to operate flights between Kathmandu and Chengdu, the capital of southwestern China’s Sichuan province. The carrier will be the fifth Chinese airline company to fly to Kathmandu if given permission to operate flights.
Ministry officials said they are assessing the documents submitted by the company. As per the proposal, it would initially operate four flights a week between Kathmandu and Chengdu. The operation date, however, has not been unveiled.
The airline, which is backed by Air China, had said in 2011 that it would launch flights to South Asia by 2015.
Currently, four Chinese carriers--Air China, China Southern, China Eastern and Sichuan Airlines--operate flights to Nepal.
China Southern operates two daily flights on the Kathmandu-Guangzhou route, while China Eastern and Air China operate daily flights linking Kathmandu with Kunming and Lhasa, respectively. Sichuan operates four weekly flights on the Chengdu-Lhasa-Kathmandu sector.
Tibet Airlines has appointed Himalaya Airlines as its general sales agent in Kathmandu. According to the ministry officials, they are also assessing whether an airline can appoint another airline as its general sales agent. Besides, Tibet Airlines also holds a 49 percent stake in Himalaya Airlines.
Nepal and China signed a revised bilateral air services agreement (ASA) in February 2014 permitting the operation of 56 flights a week with any type of aircraft on a reciprocal basis.
Under the revised pact, seven weekly flights were added on an annual basis since 2015, which took the number of weekly flights to 70 by 2016. Under the old ASA, Chinese airlines were allowed to operate 14 flights per week.
