The Ministry wishes to inform that Nepal Airlines will operate special flights on the following sectors from 3 to 5 April 2026, as per the initiative undertaken by Hon. Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr Shisir Khanal.
The decision follows a meeting held on 31 March 2026 at the Office of the Hon. Minister for Foreign Affairs, with the participation of senior representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), and Nepal Airlines. The meeting deliberated on measures to facilitate the travel needs of Nepali nationals in the Gulf region and to ensure the continuity of essential air connectivity. Regular flights on these sectors had remained suspended since 28 February 2026 due to the ongoing tensions and security situation in West Asia.
The Ministry expresses its sincere thanks and appreciations to Nepal Airlines for the arrangement of the flights and also acknowledges the support extended by Rastriya Beema Company Limited in facilitating the insurance arrangements required for the operation of these flights.
The Ministry further expresses its appreciation to all other agencies for their effective coordination and remains committed to working closely with relevant stakeholders to safeguard the interests of Nepali citizens and to further strengthen international connectivity.
