Buddha Air to fly to Varanasi from March 1
Buddha Air is scheduled to start its Kathmandu-Varanasi service from March 1 as part of the drive to expand its international network.
The carrier said it would be operating four weekly flights (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday). The flight will depart from Kathmandu for Varanasi at 3:00 pm. The one-way airfare for the sector has been fixed at Rs 5,031.
Varanasi lies in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh and is regarded as a holy city by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains.
“The objective of connecting Varanasi is the route’s prospects as it is a pilgrimage site and there are also business and education opportunities,” said Buddha Air in a press release.
On Jan 7, 2011, the carrier had operated flights to Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, as its second international destination after Bhutan. The service has presently been suspended. It began commercial flights to Paro, Bhutan with an 18-seater Beechcraft 1900D on Aug 23, 2010. It is the first foreign airline to serve Bhutan.
