Nepal Airlines resumed flights to Resunga Airport in Gulmi district on Tuesday morning, restoring air service after a suspension of about four months caused by adverse weather. The airline operated a flight from Kathmandu to the airport as conditions improved, and its Resunga station chief, Suman Thapa, said regular flights had now resumed.
Nepal Airlines flight restores the route
The Tuesday morning flight marked the return of air service between Kathmandu and Resunga after weather conditions had kept the route out of operation for around four months. Nepal Airlines operated the flight from the capital to the airport in Gulmi, bringing the prolonged interruption to an end.
The resumption followed an improvement in the weather, according to the information provided about the service. The suspension had been attributed to adverse weather conditions, while the improved conditions allowed the airline to restart flights. No further operational details, including a specific timetable or the number of flights planned, were provided.
Regular service resumes at Resunga
Suman Thapa, Nepal Airlines’ station chief at Resunga Airport, confirmed that regular flights had resumed. His statement indicates that Tuesday’s flight was not being treated only as a one-off operation, though no additional details about the frequency of future services were given.
The return of flights reconnects Resunga with Kathmandu by air after the months-long pause. For passengers using the route, the immediate development is the restoration of the service; the available information does not specify how many passengers were on the first flight or provide details about bookings and subsequent departures.
The route had remained suspended for about four months because of weather, rather than a reported change in airline service plans. With conditions improving, Nepal Airlines has restarted operations to Resunga, and the station chief has said regular flights are under way again. Further details about the ongoing schedule were not included in the announcement.
