Himalaya Airlines has resumed direct flights to Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia as stated in the press release by Himalaya Airlines on Wednesday. The airlines had started its first direct flight to Kuala Lumpur since February 10, 2017.
It had then suspended its service from November 2018 after the government stopped providing labor permits to Nepali migrant workers going on foreign employment to Malaysia.
The airlines, set up with joint investment of Nepal’s private sector and China, will operate flight to Kuala Lumpur on Monday and Tuesday. “We are very pleased to resume direct flights between Kathmandu and Kuala Lumpur.
Flights between these two destinations will provide important business opportunities to the passengers from both countries. It will play a significant role in promoting bilateral trade, human resources and tourism,” Himalaya Airlines company vice-chairman Bijaya Shrestha said.
The airlines company, established in August 2014, is currently operating flights to eight different destinations from its three A 320 aircraft operating flights to Abu Dhabi, Dammam, Doha, Dhaka, Kuala Lumpur, Beijing, Guiyang and Changsha.
