Flydubai, the Dubai-based airline, has announced the launch of a new daily service to Bhairahawa Airport, also known as Gautam Buddha International Airport (BWA), set to commence on November 10, 2024. This new route aims to enhance travel options for passengers seeking to explore Nepal, providing convenient access to a key gateway in the region.
The daily flights to Bhairahawa will depart from Terminal 2 at Dubai International Airport (DXB), with return flights operating via Kathmandu. This strategic route is designed to meet the growing demand for travel between Dubai and Nepal, fostering connections between the two regions.
Sudhir Sreedharan, Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations for the UAE, GCC, Africa, and the Indian Subcontinent at Flydubai, expressed enthusiasm for the new service.
