Kathmandu

Thai AirAsia and Indonesia AirAsia are growing their networks with new services to Nepal and Hong Kong respectively.

A Saurya Airlines CRJ200 crashed during takeoff in Kathmandu, Nepal, on July 24, resulting in 18 fatalities.

The plans seek to build on a relationship that stretches back to 2011.

The service is expected to satisfy VFR demand from the Middle East and Europe.

The LCC is also resuming and commencing a slew of domestic routes.

Routes analyzes some of the services returning as well as new routes being launched. This week we look at Qantas resuming trans-Tasman flights; Air India expanding with a new Canadian service; and Air Arabia Abu Dhabi’s latest network addition.

The carrier is restarting service to destinations in Africa, South Asia and the US.

The airline started flights to Jeddah from Delhi and Mumbai in 2019.
