Kathmandu Airport to Close for 10 Hours Daily

Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport will be closed for 10 hours daily starting Friday, as part of an operational adjustment. The closure, lasting from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, is expected to affect flight schedules and passenger services. Authorities have implemented this temporary shutdown to facilitate runway maintenance and upgrades, ensuring enhanced safety and efficiency in the future.

The decision to limit operating hours comes as part of ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure at Nepal’s busiest airport. Passengers are advised to check with airlines for revised flight timings during the affected period. These maintenance activities are critical for keeping up with the increasing air traffic demands while ensuring smoother operations.

Tribhuvan International Airport has been undergoing various improvements to accommodate growing passenger numbers and enhance its capacity. However, these necessary upgrades come with some temporary disruptions, which the airport management aims to minimize.

The shutdown is expected to continue until the maintenance work is completed, and the airport will resume full operations thereafter. Travelers are encouraged to plan ahead and be aware of the temporary closure times to avoid inconvenience.
