What arrangements are in place for the arrival of Fly Dubai, Jazeera, and Air Asia at Gautam Buddha Airport?

The second international airport in the nation, Gautam Buddha International Airport in Bhairawa, will host flights from over three foreign carriers. International airlines will finally be able to conduct business at Gautam Buddha Airport, which was unable to do so for a considerable amount of time after construction was finished.

The national flag carrier of Dubai, Fly Dubai, Thai Air Asia, based in Thailand, and Kuwait's Jazira are scheduled to arrive at Gautam Buddha International Airport, according to Pratap Babu Tiwari, General Manager of the airport. The Nepal Civil Aviation Authority, the airline regulator, has granted authorization to all three of these airlines to operate. In light of this, the airport has created a flying schedule.

On October 24, Fly Dubai will begin operating regular flights to Gautam Buddha International Airport. The company's first flight into the airport is this one. Seven days a week, Phalai Dubai will operate flights between Dubai and Bhairawa as well as Bhairawa and Kathmandu.

General Manager Tiwari states that the flight from Falai Dubai arrived at Bhairahawa at 1:45 PM and took off for Dubai at 3:30 PM, via Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, with authorization from the Flight Schedule Authority. The technical team of Phalai Dubai visited Gautam Buddha Airport and obtained information on the service facilities, according to General Manager Tiwari, who stated that they will now move forward with the preparations.

In a same vein, Jazeera Air resumes flight operations on November 12. The airlines plan to resume operations at the same airport after a ten-month flight suspension. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are the three days a week that Jazeera will operate.

According to the airport, the Jazeera flight will land at Bhairahawa at 7:30 am and depart for Kuwait at 8:30 am. Jazeera began operating flights to Bhairahawa two years ago, on June 2, 2079, the day Gautam Buddha International Airport opened. He had given technical reasons for canceling the flight to Bhairahawa.

The co-spokesperson for the Nepal Civil Aviation Authority, Gyanendra Bhool, announced that Phalai Dubai will begin operating flights to Dubai in October, with stops in between Dubai and

Bhairawa and Kathmandu. The lack of foreign flights from this airport, despite its lengthy history of operation, disappoints the commercial sector. The airline that had initiated the trip, Jazeera Air, had likewise temporarily halted operations.

Jazeera began operating flights to Bhairahawa two years ago, on June 2, 2079, the day Gautam Buddha International Airport opened. But a number of issues caused it to end in the middle. Jazeera Airways, based in Kuwait, has now announced the return of normal service.

Thai AirAsia likewise intends to operate flights to Gautam Buddha Airport in the near future. A few days ago, the aforementioned airline's technical team paid a visit to Gautam Buddha Airport. According to General Manager Tiwari, the technical team received a comprehensive briefing on the objectives of the airport, the foundations for flying operations, including market studies, and additional advantages associated with other operations. When this airline will launch, though, is still up in the air.

Gautam Buddha Airport will be served by Thai AirAsia, which began direct flights to Nepal on October 16. The airline uses roughly 60 aircraft to provide flight services to significant Asian destinations. There are many connections between Nepal and Thailand, one of which is tourism. Every year, more than 40,000 travelers from Thailand travel to Nepal. Nepal is another major tourism destination in Thailand.

Shantisuk Klodchaiya, the CEO of Thai AirAsia, stated that he thinks travel will be crucial in fostering closer cultural and interpersonal relationships between Nepal and Thailand.

In line with the government's action plan to run two international airports to capacity, international flights would be conducted out of Gautam Buddha Airport, according to General Manager Tiwari. "According to the action plan of the government, after taking charge of the airport, a special initiative is being taken to create an environment for international flight operations" , he stated.

The airport claims that all of the administrative tasks necessary to run the international airport, including security, immigration, and customs, are in good working order. Chief Immigration Officer Bishnu Prasad Dhungana, speaking on behalf of the Immigration Office at Gautam Buddha International Airport, advised that the required arrangements are being made in light of the impending departure of Falai Dubai and Jazeera Airlines. 

"We are in a state of preparation; the central office has received instructions for technical manpower management," he declared. The immigration office has made all the necessary arrangements so that travelers can be easily accommodated once airline flights commence.

The inter-agency is being discussed and coordinated with by the authorities. Security, customs, and immigration offices have all been prepared for. At immigration, a passenger desk has been built. There are still certain technical issues to be resolved. The airport has twenty-one passenger service desks. The machinery is linked, but there is still more automation to be done. 

"The number of flights at the Gautam Buddha airport could rise in the future due to the potential addition of airlines during the renovation of the Kathmandu airport, so management should make arrangements appropriately." Other airlines are reportedly interested in operating flights as well," he stated.

A team led by the director general of the immigration department also carried out an on-site examination of Gautam Buddha Airport with the goal of streamlining and streamlining the immigration services offered at the airport.

With the action plan for the national pride project, the government has moved the process forward and allowed Gautam Buddha International Airport and Pokhara International Airport to operate at maximum capacity. The same strategy states that international carriers would operate quickly.

Other airlines have also expressed interest in operating flights, according to airport officials. The government has announced an alluring package that includes concessions to the airlines in many services for the operation of those two airports, which have not been able to have regular international flights since the completion of the building for a long period.

The action plan for the operation of Gautam Buddha and Pokhara International Airports as well as the strategy for the general upgrading of the civil aviation sector were approved by the Council of Ministers on July 28. To run the international airport at maximum capacity, the government intends to provide concessions on airfare and aviation fuel.

Meetings with the ministers and representatives of the relevant ministries, led by the prime minister, have taken place at several points to ensure the smooth running of the two airports. It is said that the concession is being considered based on recommendations made by the working group established to investigate the possibilities and steps necessary to run both airports at maximum capacity.

The Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation states that in order to put both airports into efficient operation, an action plan has been developed to offer discounts on plane tickets, ground handling, and aviation fuel until August 2083.

It is rumored that the tourism board will not collect the VAT on airline tickets until August 2083, nor will it collect the per-ticket fee for the two airports during this time. An action plan to purchase fuel at Bhairahawa at a lower cost than that found at the Kathmandu airport has been developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

Another brand-new international airport opened for business in the nation 74 years after Tribhuvan International Airport. Bhairahawa opened for business as a domestic airport on July 4, 1958. An international airport has been created by expanding the original airport.
